thnak you.

If the programming, of GRASS, is integer-centric, why not solve the 
null-difficulty with invisible ( ; ) c programming-style work - as, at a 
similar time in the computer-service world, that was the a vs 1 (text v nt) 
solution?

Carlos,

I don't see any options to provide a nodata on the r.in.gdal commandline, but 
r.in.gdal will set pixels to null if GDAL "knows" the nodata value for the 
source dataset.  Nodata support does exist now in the HFA (.img) driver but I 
think it was recently introduced.  It is also possible that the nodata value 
wasn't properly marked in the source .img file.

A commandline argument for this could be added to r.in.gdal, but given the 
relative ease of fixing it up with r.mapcalc, I'm not sure it would be worth 
the complication.

Best regards,
--
