[daip] mindnight job problem

[gcastell at iafe.uba.ar]

Dear daip group,

I run the AIPS midnight job (version 31DEC09) and now I have got troubles
in using the task COMB. I need to construct a spectral index map, which
I always did with COMB (there is other task spixr, but it requires the
data put in a cube). The point is that, I revised all the inputs in COMB
and I was not able to find an error from my side (see below please).
I could verify that the problem is not opcode 'spix'. Indeed, my "updated"
version of AIPS cannot also do a simple SUM between images.
The answer from AIPS is:

localh> COMB 1: Task COMB   (release of 31DEC09) begins
localh> COMB 1: DO NOT RECOGNIZE OPCODE =
localh> COMB 1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes
localh> COMB 1: athos        31DEC09 TST: Cpu=       0.0  Real=       0

Please, it would be great if you have any idea about what is wrong.

On the other hand, it is also notable that working with a uv file, the
task PRTAB does not work well. It was not posible to read the SU table.


Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Gabi
