Hi,

I'm running the shell file for calculating a simple trajectory while specifying the initial date in the format YY MM DD HH {Minutes} as specified in the user guide but I'm getting an error message on my terminal as:
HYSPLIT4 - Initialization

At line 84 of file decodi.f
Fortran runtime error: Bad integer for item 1 in list input

However, the script runs if I don't specify minutes. I also tried running it on the windows GUI version (svn:854) and it also just gets stuck and displays no error or anything. Note: There were empty Message and Warning files generated in both the run.

I tried using square brackets [minutes] but that also didn't work.

Thanks,

How exactly are you specifying your minutes in your script? Make sure they are an integer between 0 and 59.

It is in integers. Here is the CONTROL file output:

95 10 16 10 {15}
3
40.0 -90.0 10.0
40.0 -90.0 500.0
40.0 -90.0 1000.0
12
0
10000.0
1
./
oct1618.BIN
./
tdump

Do not include the brackets. 95 10 16 10 15

Thanks, it works now. Please make a note to clarify the brackets in the user guide as well.
