Hi!<br /><br />I'm trying to import some 1991 VLA archive data into AIPS using FILLM, which I think I've done successfully before, but it seems to be skipping all of the data with messages like "Skipping data at 0/11:00:00" ... <br /><br />The task FILLM appears to end sucessfully, but does not announce the creation of a UV file cno, and I don't see any UV file in the catalog with the expected outfile name GP7B2.<br /><br />The only oddity I know of is that the AOC archive file name was GP7B2_1 which I changed to GP7B2_ (because FILLM started incrementing the original name <span>GP7B2_1 to GP7B2_11 and stopping because it could not find a file with that name).</span><br /><br />Any idea what might be wrong here? I've tried it many different ways and can't get past this "Skipping data at" issue. I don't know what is in this archive (I'm doing this for someone who does not know AIPS), although I can see that it's 6 MB and FILLM does seem to be finding data - just skipping it.<br /><br />Thanks !<br /><br />Bob Gray<br /><br />>inp<br />AIPS 1: FILLM Task to read a VLA archive tape<br />AIPS 1: Adverbs Values Comments<br />AIPS 1: ----------------------------------------------------------------<br />AIPS 1: INTAPE 1 Tape drive number<br />AIPS 1: DATAIN 'HOME:GP7B2_' Non-blank: disk file name<br />AIPS 1: NFILES 0 Number of files to advance<br />AIPS 1: Also applies to ON-LINE!<br />AIPS 1: BAND ' ' Freq. band:<br />AIPS 1: (4,P,L,S,C,X,U,K,A,Q)<br />AIPS 1: QUAL -1 Source qualifier -1=>all<br />AIPS 1: CALCODE ' ' Calibrator code<br />AIPS 1: VLAOBS 'GP007B' VLA obs. pgm. name ('AZ99')<br />AIPS 1: VLAMODE ' ' VLA obs. mode (' '=any)<br />AIPS 1: REFDATE ' ' Reference date.
