Hi Jamie,

 

Another option, possibly easier, would be to create a .csh or .sh from
within FORTRAN and then do a single system command to run the .csh script.
This may reduce the I/O associated with several system commands.  Below is
an example .csh script that would run nex2img (Note: the directory locations
may not be the same for your csh and Gemenviron).

 

scriptname: /data/nex2img.csh

 

------------

#!/bin/csh

 

source /data/gempak/Gemenviron

  nex2img << NEX2IMG_EOF

  GRDAREA=28.5;-105.28;49;-88.78

  PROJ=MER

  RADDUR=20

  GFUNC=ncr

  KXKY=1612;2280

  CPYFIL=

  RADTIM=20011121/2346

  RADFRQ=

  STNFIL=nexrad.tbl

  RADMODE=PC

  LUTFIL=upc_rad24.tbl

run

 

exit

 

NEX2IMG_EOF

gpend

-------------

Evan Lowery

Here is my test program:
PROGRAM gempak_test
    IMPLICIT NONE
    
    !##################################################
    CHARACTER(200)      :: command
    !##################################################
    command = "nex2img"
    CALL system(command)

It seems that it gets stuck here. 

    command = "GRDAREA = 28.5;-105.28;49;-88.78"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "PROJ = MER"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "RADDUR = 20"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "GFUNC = ncr"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "KXKY = 1612;2280"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "CPYFIL ="
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "RADTIM = 20011121/2346"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "RADFRQ ="
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "STNFIL = nexrad.tbl"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "RADMODE = PC"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "RADFIL = /home/thor/20011121/2346.gif"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "LUTFIL = upc_rad24.tbl"
    CALL system(command)

    command = "list"
    CALL system(command)

    command = "run"
    CALL system(command)
    
    command = "exit"
    CALL system(command)
    
END PROGRAM gempak_test

I'm sorry to say that I cant divulge about what the main program does to
much but it requires gif images created from raw radar data received from
NCDC. Hope this helps.

Jamie - you may have to be more specific.  What does this "fortran"
program do to the gif images created from nex2img?  What is your desired
result?

Your CALL statement is probably getting stuck because the neximg has
been set for continuous loop.  If RADFRQ is set to anything other than 0
or nothing, it will attempt to repeat after the numerical value of the
assignment.
