Hi all,
I used benchmark to test hr2day, but it always return 0 time step, any suggestions?
I also attached my run script, log file, and input/output files
Thanks
Joey

The 0 is the number of time steps in the file before you’ve written anything.
The program is dying before it gets around to writing anything: that’s what the “ieee\_inexact is signaling” is about in the log. Is the input data bad? – a quick check would be to run M3Tools program _m3stat_ on that input-file and see what it says about the input data…

Charlie,
I did not see any significant issue in input file, I also double check I have the species I need. Any other suggestion?
Thanks!
```auto
setenv SPEICES_1 "ATOTIJ,ug/m3,ATOTIJ,AVG"
```
```auto
float ATOTIJ(TSTEP, LAY, ROW, COL) ;
ATOTIJ:long_name = "ATOTIJ " ;
ATOTIJ:units = "ug m-3 " ;
ATOTIJ:var_desc = "ATOTI[0]+ATOTJ[0] " ;
```
```auto

Your run script has a typo.
`setenv SPEICES_1 "ATOTIJ,ug/m3,ATOTIJ,AVG"`
should be
`setenv SPECIES_1 "ATOTIJ,ug/m3,ATOTIJ,AVG"`
If this doesn’t solve the problem, please compile and run in debug mode and report back.
It’s also good practice to use `M3_FILE_1` instead of `INFILE` in case you want to specify multiple input files, though `INFILE` is a recognized option for backward compatibility.

Christian,
Thanks, after editing the species, it gives another error
```auto
>>--->> WARNING in subroutine WRITE3
Time step error writing file: OUTFILE
M3WARN: DTBUF 0:00:00 ( ******* :000000)
```
How to compile and run in debug mode?
Also, I tested the m3tproc I compiled and a precompiled version from EMP 2016, both ran through successfully but there is no time step in the outfile.
Thank you
Joey

Does the same error occur if you remove OUTFILE first before rerunning the script?
To compile in debug mode, cd to the hr2day BLD directory (i.e. `${CMAQ_HOME}/POST/hr2day/scripts/BLD_hr2day_${VRSN}_pgi2018` based on the run script you posted), then type
`make clean`
`make DEBUG = TRUE`

but hr2day\_v532.exe was built.
and yes, removing previous output it still gives me the same error.

My bad, it should be `make DEBUG=TRUE`, not `make DEBUG = TRUE`.
Sorry about that, please try again.

there is no issue during the build, and it still gives me the same error.

I think I see the problem now, there is another error in your run script. The start and end dates need to be provided in YYYYJJJ format, not YYYYMMDD.
Change
`setenv START_DATE 20160701`
`setenv END_DATE 20160702`
back to the original YYYYJJJ format used in the script we distributed for this benchmark case
`setenv START_DATE 2016182`
`setenv END_DATE 2016183`
