Re: [ferret_users] How to combine data into one time axis?

[Ryo Furue <furue@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jian and Ferret users,

|  **TMAP ERR: Error in namelist record
|              Didn't find: FORMAT_RECORD; or file not descriptor file
|              Data set: .\QuikScat.des
|  
| Why?

|  
| $FORMAT_RECORD
| D_TYPE = ' MC',
| D_FORMAT = ' 1A',
| D_SOURCE_CLASS = 'Satellite',
| $END

This is wrong grammar(*).  The standard syntax of namelist
in Fortran is

  &FORMAT_RECORD
  D_TYPE = ' MC',
  D_FORMAT = ' 1A',
  D_SOURCE_CLASS = 'Satellite'
  /

I think.  You can check the grammar in any Fortran 90/95 textbook.

---------------------------
(*)I suppose that the syntax "$FORMAT_RECORD . . . $END"
was a vendor-specific extension introduced before
the Fortran 90 standard came out.  I recall some compiler
vendor (Sun?) used that syntax.
