Error reading namelist file on unit 8

MCIP
1

I got the following error message when I was trying to run mcip:
*** SUBROUTINE: READNML
*** ERROR READING NAMELIST FILE ON UNIT 8
*** NAMELIST FILE NAME = namelist.mcip
*** NAMELIST = filenames
*** IOSTAT = 19

*** ERROR ABORT in subroutine READNML
ABNORMAL TERMINATION IN READNML

Is there anyone who happens to know what does “IOSTAT =19” means?
Thanks,
K

Fortran IOSTAT values are specific to the compiler (and sometimes version) used. We need to know what compiler you did use – Intel, PGI, GNU, ??

Some googling shows this list of IOSTAT values for Intel ifort:
https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/fortran-compiler-oneapi-dev-guide-and-reference/top/compiler-reference/error-handling/handling-run-time-errors/list-of-run-time-error-messages.html#list-of-run-time-error-messages which looks as though it might fit: IOSTAT=18 is for:

severe (18): Too many values for NAMELIST variable

FOR$IOS_TOOMANVAL. An attempt was made to assign too many values to a variable during a namelist READ statement.

Which suggests either mis-dimensioned array(s) in MCIP (not likely) or badly formatted namelist-input.

If you’re using PGI pgf90 or GNU gfortran, then I don’t have a clue (as far as I can tell from extensive googling, the way to figure out the latter is to read the compiler-source ;-(

Hi cjcoats,

Thanks for your reply. I use the Intel compiler in MCIP. As you shown in the Googling results, do you know how to solve this issue?

Many thanks for your kindly help.

Hi,
Which version of MCIP are you running? Be sure to use the run_mcip.csh script that was released with that version, so it can generate a proper namelist. If those things check out then please provide a copy of your namelist.mcip file here to further troubleshoot.

Hi mmallard,

Thanks for your help, it really solve my error. I accidently use the script for version 4.1 to run mcip version 5.1. Now the program run successfully. Now I am facing another issue. I am trying to have the MCIP generate daily output files while the program now have a combined outputs without the date shown in the file name. How could I modify the script to generate a daily output so that I can directly use them in running CMAQ? Hope to receive your help.

Best,
K

If you’d like to generate daily files, you could set up your run_mcip.csh script to run over daily periods. You should be able to use the output to run CMAQ though, even without doing this.
