I was at home in my last reply and could not check details:

I would guess that you ran ATLOD with datain=' '

You need to set DATAIN to point at your rpfits file

DATAIN = 'MYAREA:MyRP.fits

for example (note no close quote to keep the case I typed)

where MYAREA is an environment variable known before you start aips 
pointing at the disk directory containing your file and MyRP.fits is the 
actual file name.  Replace both MYAREA and MyRP.fits with the actual 
values that apply to your file.
