Me too.  The message seems to suggest that FILLM is trying to append
CL data (33 columns) to a file with only 22 columns (e.g. SN table).
Are you running FILLM with DOCONCAT true and could it be pooointing
somehow at an inappropriate file?

Please use daip at nrao.edu for further communication about AIPS issues.

I notice that the day number is 11 above - it is not a good idea to
combine data over too many days.  The time do not get recorded with
adequate accuracy although 11 may be okay.
