[daip] vlarun problem

Hello,
I recently attended the NRAO summer school.  There they provided a brief
tutorial on using AIPS for VLA continuum data.  We were taught how to use
VLARUN.  But now when I run it on my data it gets these CALIB errors after
about 30 secs.  I followed the cookbook instructions when running it. 
I've included the output from the AIPS_MSGSRV_1.  Can you point me in the
right direction as to how to get it to run successfully?

Thanks,
Ned Douglass
