It does work for othe stations. Hmm... Yes, I see that when pointed at waldo for RTWXTEXT data a 'FOUSRTP STC' fails. When pointed at a different server like adde.ucar.edu, it succeeds: DATALOC ADD RTWXTEXT ADDE.UCAR.EDU FOUSRPT STC MN/MX 16 28 1 20 TEMP 31 30 25 25 24 21 19 24 25 25 20 14 9 6 2 12 18 19 14 DEWPT 19 17 15 16 15 14 12 15 14 13 10 6 2 -1 -4 1 2 3 3 CLDS BK SC SC SC OV BK BK SC BK BK SC CL CL CL CL SC SC CL CL WDIR 28 27 26 24 21 18 14 34 32 28 31 31 33 35 29 35 30 28 03 WSPD 17 16 06 07 05 04 06 11 10 12 08 09 07 07 07 09 10 11 05 POP06 1 0 12 21 23 15 10 9 9 POP12 9 30 21 16 QPF 0/ 0/ 0/0 0/ 0/0 0/ 0/0 0/ 0/0 TSV06 0/ 7 0/ 1 1/ 2 0/ 0 2/ 0 1/ 0 2/ 4 0/ 1 0/ 0 TSV12 0/ 6 1/ 1 2/ 0 2/ 4 PTYPE S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S POZP 0 2 5 5 4 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 POSN 94 95 95 95 95 99 98100 97 99 98 99 100 100 100 SNOW 0/ 0/ 1/0 1/ 1/1 1/ 1/1 1/ 1/1 CIG 5 5 7 7 7 7 7 7 4 5 5 5 7 VIS 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 FOUSRPT: Done >He has found the file in the server (waldo) and can get it by typing > > WXTLIST WMO=FOUS14 WSTN=KWNO MATCH=STC > >He is wondering if the FOUSRPT command is failing for the one station. It is failing on waldo, but I am not sure why. >I am not familiar with the syntax of the FOUSRPT command, but since it >apparently works for other stations, what is wrong with getting STC ? I don't know. I will have to look into what could be happening on waldo to cause the FOUSRPT failure. Tom
