CMAQv5.3.2 hourly output

Dear all,

I am currently using CMAQv5.3.2 and attempting to generate output files at 1-hour intervals.
The simulation is being executed only for a single day (2020-05-21), and there are no issues producing outputs from 00:00 to 22:00. However, when I configure the time-stepping as follows:

set STTIME = 230000
set NSTEPS = 010000 # time duration (HHMMSS)
set TSTEP = 010000 # output time step interval (HHMMSS)

the model terminates abnormally and attempts to access a BCON file for 2020-05-23 00:00, even though the intended run is only for one hour on 2020-05-21.
Currently, the BCON file contains 25 TSTEPs for a single day.

*** ERROR ABORT in subroutine retrieve_boundar on PE 009
Could not read BNDY_CONC_1 file
PM3EXIT: DTBUF 0:00:00 May 23, 2020
Date and time 0:00:00 May 23, 2020 (2020144:000000)

If anyone has experienced this issue or found a solution, I would greatly appreciate your advice.

Thank you,

Hi Min,

What is your start date and end date? Can you also share your run_script?
