Hello,

I'd like to kindly ask you what may cause conversion error when I try to execute showgrid.exe in cmd for captex .gbl data:

C:\hysplit\working>..\exec\showgrid -DC:\Users\Faruk\Desktop\hysplit tutorials\Tutorial\captex\ -FRP198309.gbl -I1 -I10.0
forrtl: severe (64): input conversion error, unit -5, file Internal Formatted Read

showgrid.exe 00007FF74B1DA3A8 Unknown Unknown Unknown
showgrid.exe 00007FF74B1A709A Unknown Unknown Unknown
showgrid.exe 00007FF74B181807 Unknown Unknown Unknown
showgrid.exe 00007FF74B2641C2 Unknown Unknown Unknown
showgrid.exe 00007FF74B274C74 Unknown Unknown Unknown
KERNEL32.DLL 00007FFEA84F7034 Unknown Unknown Unknown
ntdll.dll 00007FFEA8722651 Unknown Unknown Unknown

Since it says conversion error, may I miss some pre-installation utilities like decoder or any others? For now, the meteorological data is ".gbl" format so I thought it would be called by showgrid.exe file without any problem, but still not.

Thanks!

The error might have happened because of a space in the directory, namely, "hysplit tutorials." HYSPLIT executables do not expect a space in a directory name or in a file name. Remove the space by renaming the directory and try again.

Thank you again!

I also checked and reach information as follows:

INPCONERR
NUMBER: 64
ERROR CODE: F, C

MESSAGE TEXT: input conversion error

EXPLANATION: During a formatted input operation, either an invalid character was detected in an input field, or the input value overflowed the range representable in the input variable. The value of the variable was set to zero.

I changed not only the name but also the directory, however, I still have the problem. The reason maybe the second statement given above, pointing "input variable and initial value problem", but I didn't understand clearly what it means. Below, the directory and the renamed directory can be seen.

The -I10.0 option should have been -L10.0.
