This is an indication that something got messed up in the directory
in which the XCD decoders write their output.  In this case,
the second option of the troubleshooting list I sent two emails
ago applies. The following is a simplified check list:

1) as 'ldm' stop the LDM

2) login as 'mcidas'

3) cd /home/data/mcidas

4) rm -f *.RA*

5) cd ~mcidas/workdata
   cp ~mcidas/data/SCHEMA /home/data/mcidas
   chmod 666 /home/data/mcidas/SCHEMA

6) tl.k XCDDATA

   If XCDDATA is not defined to be /home/data/mcidas, define it:

   te.k XCDDATA \"/home/data/mcidas

7) rerun the XCD configuration BATCH files:

   batch.k XCD.BAT
   batch.k XCDDEC.BAT

8) restart the LDM

>So...not sure what the problem is...must be in the decoders?

It is probably that one or more of the *.RA* files in /home/data/mcidas
got hosed.
