Hi,

I'm trying to execute a very simple batch script load_image.batch

seadisp & $
load,'/DADOS/SeaDAS/A2006301171000.L2_LAC',prod_name=['chlor_a'] & $
display, band_no=1,/GEO, FBUF=1 & $
loadpal, 13 & $
coast, color=7 & $
out, 'A2006301171000_chl.png', /display, ftype='png', /cbar, bk_cbar=1  & $
clear_up & $

then I run
seadas -em -b load_image.batch

and I get this error message:

"! The following error was encountered: Attempt to subscript SDSEX_CMDS with SDSEX_BLIX is out of range. Please consult the supplier of the application"

I've run much complicated scripts before and never got this message.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that your last line has the "$" line continuation character. To make the script work just change the last line to be:

  clear_up

And the only time you need to place the "& $" characters at the end of lines is for a loop. seadisp is also defunct. So your script would be better written as:

  load,'/DADOS/SeaDAS/A2006301171000.L2_LAC',prod_name=['chlor_a']
  display, band_no=1,/GEO, FBUF=1
  loadpal, 13
  coast, color=7
  out, 'A2006301171000_chl.png', /display, ftype='png', /cbar, bk_cbar=1
  clear_up

An example of using a loop in your script with the "& $" characters would be:

  load,'/DADOS/SeaDAS/A2006301171000.L2_LAC',prod_name=['chlor_a']
  display, band_no=1,/GEO, FBUF=1
  loadpal, 13
  coast, color=7
  out, 'A2006301171000_chl.png', /display, ftype='png', /cbar, bk_cbar=1
  for i=1,3 do begin & $
    print,'Example loop iteration number:', i  & $
  endfor
  clear_up

Thank you Mike!

It's true, I wrote many scripts, but always using a loop for choosing the input files.
Thanks
