Subject: Help with error: [SFEDIT 2] Station cannot be added to the file
Hi all,
I am stumped. I have a very simple (one station) test case that I can't get
to run. I run sfcfil and then sfedit, and get the above error.
My station file, stationCD.fil, contains a single line:
>16980603 999999 TEST -- US 3210 -9170 24
My data file, 20020612.txt, contains 24 hourly values:
>PARM = P01M
>
>STN YYMMDD/HHMM P01M
>16980603 020612/0000 0.00
>16980603 020612/0100 0.00
>16980603 020612/0200 0.00
>16980603 020612/0300 0.00
>.

>16980603 020612/2300 0.00
I run sfcfil with the following options:

> SFPRMF = P01M
> STNFIL = stationCD.fil
>SHIPFL = no
>TIMSTN = 24/0
>SFFSRC = 20020612.txt
and get

Then I run sfedit and get:
