Also, you are likely to get much faster response to questions when you send your email to Unidata User Support (address@hidden). There is more than one person reading the Support mail box, so questions get answered faster. >Thanks a lot for your reply to my question on schema registration. It >helps a lot. You are welcome. >Now, the schema registration seems OK from the following: >============================ >lsche.k CTYP > >NAME: CTYP VERSION: 2 DATE: 2000300 TEXTID: "CLOUD MASK AND TYPE >---- ------- > DEFAULT NUMBER OF ROWS: 72 INTEGER ID: 0 > COLS: 3600 MISSING DATA VALUE: >-2139062144 > REPEAT GROUP: NUMBER OF REPETITIONS: 1 > STARTING POSITION: 6 > SIZE: 8 > NUMBER OF KEYS IN ROW HEADER: 2 > COL HEADER: 3 STARTING AT POSITION 3 > DATA RECORD: 8 STARTING AT POSITION 6 > ---- > 13 TOTAL > > KEY SCALE UNIT KEY SCALE UNIT KEY SCALE UNIT > ---- ----- ---- ---- ----- ---- ---- ----- ---- > DATE 0 TIME 0 ALON 0 > ALAT 0 IDN 0 SFTP 0 > RD01 0 RD02 0 RD03 0 > RD04 0 RD05 0 MASK 0 > TYPE 0 >lsche.k: DONE >========================= This looks good. >What I did is to copy the file SCHEMA from the directory >(/usr/mcidas/data for my case) >where the McIDAS was installed to my ~mcidas/data directory. > >Is this resonable? Yes, this is totally reasonable. Your McIDAS-X sessions should use this copy of SCHEMA instead of the one in the ~mcidas/data directory if your Unix MCPATH environment variable has been set so that your mcidas/data directory comes before /usr/mcidas/data. >But when I tried to convert a text file to MD file, it failed like this: > >(I have added the MD data set by DSSERVE ADD ....) >============================= > >txt2md.k txt.dat 100 CTYP > TXT2MD -- BEGIN >txt2md.k: OVERSIZE ROW WITH NC= 6000 >txt2md.k: MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE IS 3500 >================================ This must have come after running for awhile. Your schema list above shows that you set the maximum number of rows to be 3600. I believe that there may still be a 3500 column limit in McIDAS MD files, but I will have to check. The error message you sent appears to say that your text data file had enough entry for 6000 rows. Is this true? >My schema CTYP: > >===================== >"CTYP (JSP) 0001 SCHEMA -- Cloud Screening SCHEMA >" NAME VSN DATE ID "TEXTID >" ---- --- ----- -- ------- > SCHEMA CTYP 2 00300 0 "CLOUD MASK AND TYPE > > ROWS 72 "Number of ROWS > > DATE "YEAR AND JULIAN DAY (CCYYDDD) > TIME "NOMINAL TIME (HH0000) > > COLUMNS 3600 "Maximum number of COLUMNS > > ALON "RANGE (-180 => +180) POSITIVE WEST > ALAT "RANGE (-90 => +90) POSITIVE NORTH > IDN "Satellite ID > > DATA > > SFTP "Surface type (0=sea, 1=land) > RD01 " CH-1 reflectance > RD02 " CH-2 3.9 um Brightness temperature > RD03 " CH-3 6.7 um Brightness temperature > RD04 " CH-4 10.7 um Brightness temperature > RD05 " CH-5 12.0 um Brightness temperature > MASK " Cloud MASK (0,1,2,3,4) > TYPE " Cloud TYPE (0,1,2,3,4,5) >ENDSCHEMA > >================= This matches the LSCHE listing you included above. >The beginning of txt.dat file: > >================= > DATE TIME ALON ALAT IDN SFTP RD01 RD02 RD03 RD04 RD05 MASK TYPE >1996093 151514 148.03 54.31 8 0 3.30 250.20 226.40 248.60 247.30 1 1 >1996093 151514 140.56 53.37 8 0 6.20 258.90 227.80 249.40 248.90 1 1 >1996093 151514 136.91 52.93 8 0 5.60 266.80 229.60 263.40 260.20 4 2 >1996093 151514 134.11 52.59 8 0 5.40 270.60 231.50 267.20 264.00 3 5 >1996093 151514 131.76 52.32 8 0 8.70 272.00 231.80 266.00 263.50 0 0 >1996093 151514 129.70 52.08 8 0 12.80 266.00 232.60 256.50 256.10 3 2 >1996093 151514 127.84 51.87 8 1 13.30 265.10 233.70 254.20 253.00 3 3 >1996093 151514 126.13 51.69 8 1 11.90 262.70 234.80 248.20 246.70 3 5 >1996093 151514 124.54 51.52 8 1 14.70 267.20 235.10 258.50 258.40 1 1 >1996093 151514 123.05 51.36 8 1 6.20 267.20 232.90 265.40 264.90 0 0 >1996093 151514 69.51 24.97 8 0 5.20 293.70 0.00 287.30 283.30 4 5 > >========================= > >What's the problem?

Again, sorry to have taken so long to reply. Preparations for the workshop totally consumed me as we were fighting hardware problems right up until Sunday night at 9 pm.
