[daip] Missing adverb in VLBARUN

[Juan Carlos Algaba]

Dear Designated AIP,

Happy new year! After some time without using AIPS, I decided to download
some VLBA archival data and play with it a bit. I tried to use some of the
scripting methods, and went for a first fresh call of VLBAUTIL after which
I checked the inputs of VLBARUN, encountering however the following missing
adverb message:

>inp vlbarun
AIPS 1: VLBARUN: Applies amplitude and phase calibration to VLBA data !
AIPS 1: Adverbs     Values                 Comments
AIPS 1: ----------------------------------------------------------------
AIPS 1:
AIPS 1:           To run this procedure you MUST type RUN VLBAUTIL and
AIPS 1:           RUN VLBARUN first to define the procedures in AIPS.
AIPS 1:
AIPS 1:                                    -- Load the data from disk --
AIPS 1: DATAIN     *all ' '                Disk file name
AIPS 1: DOUVCOMP     -1                    Compress data? Use -1, 0 or 1
AIPS 1: OUTNAME    ' '                     File name (name)
AIPS 1: OUTDISK       1                    Working disk with ample space
AIPS 1:                                    -- OR existing file --
AIPS 1: INNAME     ' '                     Input file name
AIPS 1: INCLASS    ' '                     Input file class
AIPS 1: INSEQ         0                    Input file sequence number
AIPS 1: INDISK        0                    Disk number for input file
AIPS 1:                                    -----------------------------
AIPS 1: OPTYPE     ' '                     For CONT, PSEU or SPEC (LINE)
AIPS 1:                                    -----------------------------
AIPS 1: CLINT         0                    CL table interval in minutes.
AIPS 1: MISSING ADVERB: TRY A 'COMPRESS' OR 'HELP NOADVERB' FOR INFO
AIPS 1: SYMBOL?       CHREFANT

Of course the first thing I tried was to do some RESTORE 0 and COMPRESS,
which didn't solve the problem. I kleenex-ed and restarted AIPS. getting
VLBAUTIL (which loads perfectly) and INP VLBARUN still gives the same
issue. I found an old dAIP topic about a similar situation here:
https://listmgr.nrao.edu/pipermail/daip/2003-November/005033.html
So I tried rescuing my do.daily_localhost and did some MNJ and RUN POPSGN.
I still found the same missing adverb signal.

Final check, I installed the new 31DEC21 version of AIPS making sure about
the ./AIPSRC file and taking into consideration the changes in AIPSPATH.SH
and AIPSPATH.CSH, as advised for installations with a previous version
already in the system. I am running a macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and I did
not forget to do the additional steps for the system (services,
fix_aips_macos.sh, sysctl kern.sysv). AIPS seems to be working great, but
still, the same missing adverb problem remains in VLBARUN. This issue does
not happen in any other procedure of VLBAUTIL.

Is there anything that I am missing out here? Any thoughts from your side?

Thank you very much,

       Juan Carlos
