[MITgcm-support] MDS_READ_SEC_YZ: negative irecord

[dong.jian at studium.uni-hamburg.de]

Hi, Dear MITgcm community,

I met MDS_READ_SEC_YZ: Invalid value for irecord

irecord is the record number to be read and must be >= 1. according to  
mdsio_read_section.F

But in my STDOUT: MDS_READ_SEC_YZ: argument irecord = -00084975
I couldn't figure out why it is negative, does anyone know what does  
this number mean and how it is calculated?

I have checked that exf and obcs files exist and the date is right in  
data.cal/data.exf/data.obcs

Thanks for helping,
Dong
