Hi Seyni - I did a few tests using the same input data you have. This
appears to be a problem only with DSSAT v4.5.0.2 (WeatherMan v4.5.0.0). The
seamless transformation of SUNH to SRAD during importation of raw data works
fine in DSSAT v4.0.2, and in DSSAT v4.5.0.1 (which harbors, interestingly,
the same WeatherMan v4.5.0.0 as above).

Cheers,

Sibiry
