Mark,
It appear that you have the pqact entry correct but i can't check for tabs
between the actions.A quick way to check if your parameters are corect is to
run the decoder from the command line in the ldm home directory using a raw
data file. ie
% cd ~ldm
% decoders/metar2nc tables/metar.cdl data/netcdf/metarold < "raw data file"
it will display the error message. if this doesn't help, let me know.
robb....
# metar decoder, creates NetCDF files formated Surface_METAR_yyyymmdd_hh00.nc
# All aviation reports including metar tests. old netcdf file format
DDS|IDS ^S(A....|P....|XUS8.) .... ([0-3][0-9])
PIPE decoders/metar2nc
tables/metar.cdl
data/netcdf/metarold
