Hi Shelly,

>Thanks for getting back to me (yet again!). I finally located the file. I've
>looked through it and it is not apparent to me why the server fails at the
>end of the file. I'm sorry to keep pestering you about this... but hopefully
>you've seen this issue before. Thanks again,

RTPTSRC                      <LOCAL-DATA>

<LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.
DATALOC -- done

OK, this shows that the RTPTSRC dataset will be accessed as
LOCAL-DATA.  This means that the definitions for the RTPTSRC dataset
_must_ be known in this session in order for things to work.  What I
mean by this is that the association between the set of files that
compose the RTPTSRC dataset must be setup.  We can see if this has been
done by sticking another logging invocation in the script:

This output says that the server is _not_ setup to serve the
RTPTSRC/LIGHTNING dataset, meaning that the DSSERVE definitions are not
there and the server doesn't know which file(s) to look in to get the
lightning data.  Changing this configuration should be easy enough.  If
needed, I can take a look tomorrow, but first, someone there should add
the dsserve.k entry I included above so that we know for sure that this
is the problem.
