CMAQ5.3.1 CCTM run error “ Error interpolating variable SLTYP”

The following error occurred when I ran the CCTM script

 CTM_OCEAN_CHEM set to FALSE. Open ocean and surf zone
 fractions will be set to 0. There will be no oceanic
 halogen-mediated loss of ozone or sea spray aerosol emissions.

 *** ERROR ABORT in subroutine retrieve_time_de on PE 000
  Error interpolating variable SLTYP from MET_CRO_2D
  PM3EXIT:  date&time specified as 0
  Date&time specified as 0

What caused it?

When the MET_CRO_2D file was opened there will have been a log-message indicating the starting date
&time, timestep, and duration for this file. Is this requested date&time consistent with the file, and is that consistent with your run specifications?

thanks ,STTIME set error

set STTIME = 130000 #> beginning GMT time (HHMMSS)

set NSTEPS = 060000 #> time duration (HHMMSS) for this run

set TSTEP = 010000 #> output time step interval (HHMMSS)

What about the file? Is is consistent with this?
