Re: [ferret_users] bug with Ferret v6 ?

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jerome,
Thanks for sending the file. Indeed, running Ferret from the command line, with Ferret v5.81 the variable TRANGE is read correctly, but with Ferret v6.0

        NOAA/PMEL TMAP
        FERRET v6 
        Linux(g77) 2.4.21-32 - 08/23/06
        29-Sep-06 11:34    

yes? use 259da1dac3f7750fe1fc83930e5a24b6.nc
 
yes? list trange
             VARIABLE :   (hours)
             FILENAME : 259da1dac3f7750fe1fc83930e5a24b6.nc
             SUBSET   : 2 points (TIME)
 JAN-2001 / 1:    ....
 DEC-2002 / 2:  17496.

we'll track down why this is.

Hi,

I am having an issue with using LAS with Ferret v6. I am not having this problem using LAS with Ferret 5.81. Both LAS are exactly the same (6.5.1), same xml files, same query.
So I am thinking it's a bug with Ferret v6 but I am not sure.

The issue happens after LAS creates a NetCDF file with the insitu package and asks Ferret to make a plot.
There seems to be an issue with Ferret reading "trange".
I have attached the NetCDF file created by LAS. and I have copied below the debug ferret part for both Ferret version.
I hope this helps find out what the issue is.
Hope this helps,
Jerome.

With Ferret 5.81, I get a nice plot:
