If you don't see that message, then verify that the correct pqing version is the one being executed. The PPS pattern is in the pqing.c line 516 check for what feedtypes to check the pil pattern on: if ((feedtype & DDS)||(feedtype & PPS)||(feedtype & IDS)) { usePil = 1; uinfo("Creating AFOS-like pil tags\0"); } Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support >From: address@hidden (Steve Adams) >Organization: . >Keywords: 200001281922.MAA14469 >>From address@hidden Fri Jan 28 12:40 CST 2000 >> >>Steve, >> >>As I mentioned in my message yesterday, you need pqing from LDM 5.0.9. >>The LDM product identifier with the PIL tag comes from pqing, not pqact- >>so upgrading to pqact from 5.0.9 is not sufficient.
