Dear VLA Specialist,<br><br>
I have VLA data obtained by O'Dea et al., and am having<br>
trouble reading the data into FILLM. The D array data set is
called<br>
AO170_B030411.XP11. This data is in archival format.
<br><br>
We are using 31DEC03 version of AIPS on a machine with LINUX 7.2, and the
<br>
compiler was upgraded according to your instructions; we compiled AIPS
with <br>
2.95.3. <br><br>
We have tried many different ways of reading in the data file, and each
time we <br>
get a similar error message: ZTPOPN: DISK DEVICE = (whatever we used)1
NOT<br>
FOUND. FLDKIO: ERROR<br><br>
We have tried using a direct path, as described in section 3.10.1 in the
COOKBOOK; and<br>
we have tried defining user data area assignments in a .dadevs file in my
home directory.<br>
Neither of these worked. We also tried adding destinations to the
DADEVS.LIST file, and<br>
this seemed to have no effect. <br><br>
We are wondering: where do we put the data to be read in by FILLM?
<br><br>
The output from AIPS is:<br><br>
<pre>START_AIPS: User data area assignments:
(Using private file /home/daly/.dadevs)
Disk 1 (1) is /home/daly/L219-2/VLADATA/
Disk 2 (2) is /usr/AIPS/DATA/L219-2_1
