These are correct.

This is incorrect and may well be the cause of your problems.
The first thing to do before retrying your EU MAKE tests is
to delete this file.  Also, after rerunning your test(s), make
sure to see where this file resides.  Again, it should be in
the ~/.mctmp/nnnnn directory.

This is correct.

re:

This is also incorrect.  You need to delete this file also.

My suggestion is to:

- exit any/all McIDAS sessions that are running
- delete ~mcidas/workdata/FRAMENH.001 and ~mcidas/workdata/TERMCHAR.001
- restart your session
- rerun the DMAP commands immediately to verify that these files were
  not recreated in the wrong (i.e., ~mcidas/workdata) directory. If
  they are, then there is something wrong in your environment... please
  send the output of 'env' (the output of the 'env' command from the McIDAS
  Text and Command window is gotten by typing !env).

re:
> I am also getting the same results running a batch file:

I think the problem is the FRAMENH.001 and TERMCHAR.001 files which
are located in your ~mcidas/workdata directory.  Please delete these as
I have indicated above and rerun your tests.

re:
> I run this file in and out of the mcidas session (in mcidas and with a
> kickoff batchfile process.)

I suspect that there is something not quite right in the setting of MCPATH
in your kickoff process.

re:

> before.

This is completely weird.  EU TABLE should only list the contents of
the enhancement table TESTVAPOR.  Again, I suspect the problem is being
caused by FRAMENH.001 and TERMCHAR.001 being in the wrong directory.

My comments above apply.

Cheers,

Tom
