NCHAV is a new adverb.  The failure of a restore 0 or compress to
teach your aips this adverbs says that your aips manager has not
followed the instructions that he/she should receive with the midnight
job.  He needs to run POPSGN

   RUN POPSGN
   0 POPSDAT TST
   <cr>

outside of AIPS.  This establishes new vocabulary.  BTW there are
three more adverbs after NCHAV in the inputs to SPLIT - it does not
appear in the inputs display because it is unrecognozed and so its
type and value are unknown.
