Mark, the first place to look is the ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log file, the pqact will send it errors to it. one can track the error by looking at the PID of the pqact etc/pqact.netcdf process. also check the pqact.netcdf that there are tabs not spaces between entry parts because spaces could be part of pattern action. ie. DDS|IDS<tab here>^S(A....|P....|XUS8.) .... ([0-3][0-9]) <tab here>PIPE<tab here>decoders/metar2nc.new1 <tab here>etc/metar.cdl.new1 <tab here>data/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/metar make sure all the decoder table files and cdl files are in the ~ldm/etc directory. they are located in the ~/etc directory in the build location. from the ldm home directory, run the decoder from command line, ie % decoders/metar2nc.new1 etc/metar.cdl.new1 data/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/metar < <raw data file> above is on one line robb... > > Thanks > > Mark Seefeldt > > Robb Kambic wrote: > > On Thu, 17 Nov 2005, Unidata Support wrote: > > > >> Robb, > >> > >> See second paragraph for request of pqact entries for NC decoders 4.0.0. > >> > >> ------- Forwarded Message > >> > >>> To: Unidata Support <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > >>> From: Mark Seefeldt <mark.seefeldt@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > >>> Subject: NetCDF decoder pqact entries > >>> Organization: UCAR/Unidata > >>> Keywords: 200511172016.jAHKGG7s010277 > >> I am currently running LDM 6.4.3.
