The FITDISK procedure **requires** a "logical' (environment variable) in 
DATAOUT.  A full path name will not do.  Set up the variable before 
starting aips e.g.
   setenv MYFITS /home64/home56/aips2/aips/FITS          for C shells
or
   export MYFITS=/home64/home56/aips2/aips/FITS          for bash shell.
Then set DATAOUT='MYFITS'
