•Ok, but nowadays useCAL is no more part of the namelist in 
packages_boot. F:

http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm/model/src/packages_boot.F?view=markup


•Adding useCAL in data.pkg of course brings an error:

PGFIO-F-239/namelist read/unit=11/entity name is not member of group.
 File name = /tmp/FTNBX6betWv45qXT    formatted, sequential access   record = 7
 In source file packages_boot.f, at line number 1776


•Also, a thread from May 2008 recommends not to use useCAL anymore:
http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-support/2008-May/005491.html


•But as you say there is a hard-coded switch indeed in packages_boot.F
and that seems to now be enough. 

C--   packages with hard-coded switch
#ifdef ALLOW_CAL
      IF (useEXF) useCAL = .TRUE.


Cheers.
