> Description of problem: I downloaded a file from the ATCF database (attached) > and got this > error when I tried to open it. The file was retrieved from: > > ftp://ftp.tpc.ncep.noaa.gov/atcf/archive/2007 > > Error initializing ATCF data > Could not read file: C:\data\point\aal012007.dat/storm.table > The ATCF data source is expecting a directory not a file. The directory structure should mimic the ftp directory structure. It looks for a <dir>/storm.table file and then will read in the data files as: <dir>/<year>/a<basin number><storm number><year>.dat.gz We can look at modifying this class to support reading a .dat file directly. -Jeff Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RWS-889201 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Closed
