NRAO,
I am attempting to load a multi-source VLA file to AIPS utilizing the task 'FILLM'; however, I am finding that the task is skipping over some data. My question for you is: Under what circumstance does FILLM skip data and how can a user control which data is skipped? Or prevent skipping entirely?
Below you can find both my inputs and the feedback given by the task, respectively.
