[LDM #BOP-725250]: LDM - write errors to processed data files; tried everything else!

Hi Mike,

The contents of store_MADIS is:

#!/bin/sh gunzip > $1/$$.$2; F='echo $2 | cut -c1-13; mv $1/$$.$2 $1/$F

For readability, I would rewrite this to put separate commands on separate
lines.  For example:

#!/bin/sh
gunzip > $1/$$.$2
F='echo $2 | cut -c1-13
mv $1/$$.$2 $1/$F

Comments on this script:

1) the script assumes that 'gunzip', 'cut', and 'mv' can all be found
   by virtue of the PATH in scope when the script is run

2) unless I am missing something, there is an unmatched quote ("'") in
   F='echo $2 | cut -c1-13

3) the script assumes that the directory referred to as $1 exists and
   is writable by the user running the LDM.  If the output directory
   does not exist, you could create it using:

   mkdir -p $1

   This will work if the user running your LDM has write permission in the
   in all subdirectories represented in the directory passed in as '$1'.

> Thanks again.

The most likely problems are either the unmatched quote or the non-existence
of the output directory.

> patch.

Very good.

Cheers,

Tom
