CHKERR

Lists the output from an error file.

Format

CHKERR file day time [keyword]

Parameters

file	file name (no default)
day	Julian day, YYDDD (no default)
time	time, HH (no default)

Keyword

NUM=

number of lines to output (default=20)

Remarks

CHKERR lists the errors generated by a data monitor. User-written data monitors must call the subroutine ERMESS to write a file readable by CHKERR.

You can use CHKERR to isolate system problems such as periodic aborts caused by corrupt pointer files.

When you install the McIDAS-XCD server software, error messaging is not active for decoders. To activate error messaging, edit the .CFG file appropriate for the decoder. SSEC recommends keeping the error messaging inactive unless there is a problem.
