[GRASS-user] Unable to open gridded data

[Muhammad Rahiz]

Dear GRASS-users,

I'm new to GRASS although I'm not new to GIS. I can't seem to be able to 
load my gridded data into GRASS using r.in.arc.

The following error message appears

Illegal line in header
ncols:         180
"yllcorner" field missing from header
"xllcorner" field missing from header
"nrows" field missing from header
"ncols" field missing from header
"cellsize" field missing from header
"nodata_value" field missing from header
ERROR: Can't get cell header

The following is how the format  of the header of my gridded data looks 
like;

ncols         180
nrows         290
xllcorner     -200000
yllcorner     -200000
cellsize      5000
NODATA_value  -9999

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Muhammad
