Re: how to use MC files

[Boyin Huang <huang_boyin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Kevin:

Thank you for your replying. But I still face the same
error after I applying "linuxize_descriptors".

The namelist file become the following after "

linuxize_descriptors":

--------------------------------
# multi-cdf file descriptor: gfdl_new

 &FORMAT_RECORD
  D_TYPE   = '  MC',
  D_FORMAT = '  1A',
 /
---------------------------------

Do you have any further suggestions? 

The call command:
use gfdl_new

The error message:
 **TMAP ERR: Error in namelist record
             Error in: FORMAT_RECORD; or file not
descriptor file
             Data set: ./gfdl_n.des



By the way, using all these namelist format, I wrote a
fortran code reading this namelist parameters, it work
either in f77 compiler or pgf90 compiler.


Thanks a lot


Boyin
