[MITgcm-devel] NML_TERMINATOR

[Martin Losch]

Hi,

I have encountered a (possibly unimportant) error message, when using 
the MITgcm with the IBM xlf (on an AIX SP4). I use the flag 
-DNML_TERMINATOR to take into account that xlf wants ' /' instead of ' 
&' to end a namelist (see tools/build_options/sp4+mpi_edvir1). With 
this flag, testreport works, but I still have this error message:
> 1525-090 The NAMELIST READ statement cannot be completed because an 
> incorrect character was encountered in a NAMELIST group name or item 
> name.  The program will recover by discontinuing further processing of 
> the READ statement.
This error message appears because there are a few instances (e.g., 
verification/global_ocean.90x40x23/input/data.gmredi) where the 
namelist is terminated by something like ' &end' instead if ' &'. So 
far so good, but I can only hope that this doesn't affect the 
solutions.

What do you think?

Martin
