[McIDAS #FZU-242826]: DSSERVE requiring min-max for MODIS specification



Hi Neil,

re:

> MOD021KM.A2013044.1800.005.2013046203622.hdf
> MYD021KM.A2012088.1810.005.2012089170642.hdf

The first question that comes to my mind is what type of Modis files
are these.  Any chance you could make one or two of them available
so I can take a closer look?

Comment on syntax:  the DSSERVE invocation should look like:

DSSERVE ADD 441/MODIS MODS TYPE=IMAGE DIRFILE='/adde/441_MODIS/M*021KM*.hdf'

Note the surrounding of the file mask with single quotes.

Also, it is always a good idea to include a description of the data.  This
is done by specifying a short textual description in the quote field.  Here is
one (not so good) idea:

DSSERVE ADD 441/MODIS MODS TYPE=IMAGE DIRFILE='/adde/441_MODIS/M*021KM*.hdf'

The problem could be one of two things:

- improper use of a double quote 

- the type of the data is not MODS

  It could be MODX

I would first try correcting the DSSERVE invocation syntax.  If that doesn't
work, I would try changing the data type from MODS to MODX.  If that doesn't
work, please make one or two of the files available to me so I can do some
testing.

Cheers,

Tom
