Re: [ferret_users] error message when working with netcdf4 files

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

Hi Martin,
I am not seeing this in an example which I created.  Is the output file being opened at all?  Can you tell whether the error occurs at some point in the script?  One experiment might be to write your script so that it writes to the output file after opening each one.  I realize that in a more complex script you might need the files open at the same time, and there is no reason Ferret shouldn't be able to do that.  The -script option is not putting Ferret into any special state, except for command-line reading.

Hi all,

I am trying to 4 files in netcdf4 format. Reading the data
with the "use" statement and writing the variables into a single file
works well from the command line.

However
ferret -script join_files1.jnl

results in an error messages

ERROR: Cannot open pipe.

I get one error message for each variable to be written. The program continues and the resulting file seems to

be correct.

The same message appears, when join_files1 is calles as go-script.

I am using
FERRET v6.71
Linux 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64 64-bit - 08/08/11

at a sled-11 machine.

Does this indicate a serious error?
