I clipped out these lines (taking care to reassemble the XSECTG command into a single line) and put them into a BATCH file for testing. I can reproduce your problem: my session gets blown away _after_ XSECTG has finished plotting with: Program terminated, floating point error Since I can reproduce the problem here, I don't need your file. I'm on the case! >------------------------------------------- >The responses to this BATCH file follow: >------------------------------------------- > >TFILE did OPEN on window 0 >BATCH "thaex.bat >IGU DEL 2002 > IGU DONE # 2002 >IGU: DONE >IGU MAKE 2002 >IGU: DONE >UCC THAE 1000 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 1 >UCC THAE 925 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 2 >UCC THAE 850 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 3 >UCC THAE 700 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 4 >UCC THAE 500 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 5 >UCC THAE 400 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 6 >UCC THAE 300 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 7 >UCC THAE 250 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 8 >UCC THAE 200 NA 12 MDF=14 DAY=2000084 GRIDF=2002 DRAW=NO >FILE: 2002 GRID: 9 >IGU DEL 2001 > IGU DONE # 2001 >IGU: DONE >IGU COPY 2002 2001 > DONE COPYING TO GRIDFILE # 2001 >XSECTG GRIDS=1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 LAT=45 45 LON=70 120 CINT=4 FORM=GRID MAP=YES > ERASE=NO COLOR=3 TCOLOR=3 WIDTH=250 GRIDF=2001 GRA=1 >XSECTG --- BEGIN >Stations selected: 16 > 534 560 586 612 638 > 664 690 716 742 768 > 794 820 846 872 898 > 534 >XSECTG --- DONE >SF 1 >Program terminated, floating point error >PC T 1 1 >BATCH: BATCH done /mnt/homes/fingerhutb/mcidas/data/thaex.bat >TFILE CLOSE I got almost exactly the same messages. The only thing different for me was that I got the Program terminated, floating point error before the 'SF 1' invocation. >I need to talk to Mark about the ftp, I'll get back to you >soon. I got your second message. I will not be FTPing your file since I can reproduce the problem here. I will get back to you as soon as I have the fix. Tom
