Malte, eof on STDIN --shutting down isn't an error, it's stating the all the input has been processed and the decoder is shutting down. Since this is a real time decoder, it has a select command that waits for input for 20 minutes, if no input for 20 minutes or an eof is encountered, it shuts down. Since you are processing data from the command line, here's how I would invoke the decoder: usage: buoy2nc [-h] [-n (old|new)] cdlfile [datadir] [yyyymm] < WMO input file % buoy2nc -i buoy.cdl data 200710 < buoy.wmo -i says that this is not real time data, data is destination dir and 200710 states year and month since reports don't have these files. I'll attach a WMO format file for your testing. Robb... Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: ZVY-126174 Department: Support netCDF Decoders Priority: Normal Status: Open
