Hi,

Today when I ran VLBACALA, I had a problem I haven't seen before.  I 
copied CL ver 1 to 2 as usual.  I keep close track of the number of CL 
and SN tables, and through VLBATECR and VLBAEOPS things were normal.
But when I rand VLBACALA, I got the following:

oskar.> ACCOR1: Task ACCOR  (release of 31DEC08) begins

I ended up with 2 SN tables as usual to this point, but only 4 CL.  It 
seems that the script was asking for SN ver 3 which normally I don't 
have at this point.

However, when I look at the INPUTS I have at the end of the script, I 
find the named task is CLCAL with SNVER=2, INVER 0, GAINVER 4, and GAINU 
5.  That is what I think they should be.

Any suggestions?  Don't waste much time on it unless it is a known 
problem.  First thing tomorrow, I will delete these SN and CL tables, 
and are redo VLBACALA it because it doesn't seem to make sense.
