Hello,
I am writing a procedure to recursively export the catalog entries created by VLBARUN in AIPS as FITS files (to be used in CASA). When I run the file containing the procedure in AIPS it returns STRING SIZE. If I run the inputs and tasks of the procedure line by line, it works just fine.
Here is what I have:
PROC EXPORT (SOURCE, OUTDIR)DEFAULT FITTPINNAME SOURCE ; INCLASS 'A8_0'DATAOUT OUTDIR !! SOURCE !! '.fitsGO FITTP ; WAIT
FINISH
FOR I=1 TO 16 ; EXPORT (SOURCES(I), WRITEDIR) ; END
SOURCES and WRITEDIR have been previously defined. If I run it for each entry in SOURCES separately, it will work fine. It's only when I am running it in the for loop it returns the STRING SIZE message. I have also gotten this message when VLBARUN is writing plots to disk, though I just disabled plot creation in the VLBARUN parameters to get around this. Could you tell me what is creating this STRING SIZE message and how I can successfully run this iterative loop?
Thanks,
Greg
