SeaDAS 6.3 not running IDL programs

By ibidwel Date 2012-07-26 15:34

I'm trying to run batch processing files written in IDL from the SeaDAS 6.3 command line (with a full IDL license), but "seadas -b filename" just results in "The command file filename does not exist. Exiting." I've placed the files I'm trying to access in the SeaDAS idl_lib directory, but that hasn't solved it.

Any ideas?

filename should be the name of the file that contains the commands. What SeaDAS is telling you is that it can't find a file called "filename" in the working directory.
You do not need to put these files in idl_lib (and probably shouldn't, although it really won't hurt).

How do I change the working directory to include the location of the programs I'm trying to use?

EDIT: I have been using the name of the file I'm trying to run; I just used filename as an example.

You can give it a full path...

seadas -b /the/full/path/to/my/filename

or simply run seadas from the directory where filename exists
