Hi Sir,

Thanking you a lot.

Ya,  U have pointed it right.... I had unwanted flags defined . I have
taken down your suggestations and finally the problems are solved regarding
the "exf " package..

Apart from the problem of "exf" package, your suggestation/ recomendations
( regarding : better advection scheme , setting viscousity and the initial
warnings) will smoothen my model code better.
My present status :

(a) Query regarding "exf" package        : SOLVED ( quite happy with tht ).

(b) used :  tempAdvscheme = 33          : model results are improved.
                 saltAdvscheme = 33                         (again happy)
          (staggartimestep = .TRUE.)
                  diffKhT/S = 0

(c) ** WARNINGS ** INI_THETA:         : i am not getting wht to do with
this
 found 32 wet grid-pts with theta=0           warning.   ( any hints !!!)
 identically.

(d) setting up "viscousity"                      : working with it. Will
take some
           (viscAhGrid = 0.1)                         time.
            (viscAh = 0)

Thanks again for the grand help.
