Task:
DBCON
Summary:
DBCON had trouble addressing data when one of the input files had fewer correlators than the output file. This is needed to combine, say, RR only data with RR + LL data.
Files:
/15OCT99/APL/PGM/NOTST/DBCON.FOR
Fix:
  1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the corresponding area ($APGNOT) on your system.
  2. COMLNK $APGNOT/DBCON

Task:
IMAGR
Summary:
IMAGR could fail when the first field was small enough to be imaged in core but a higher numbered field was large enough to require a disk-based gridding.
Files:
/15OCT99/Q/SUB/OOP/QUVUTIL.FOR
Fix:
  1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the corresponding area ($QOOP) on your system.
  2. COMRPL $QOOP/QUVUTIL
  3. COMLNK $QPGOOP/{IMAGR,SCMAP,WFCLN}
Documentor:
Eric W Greisen
Date:

Task:
IMAGR
Summary:
IMAGR could fail when filtering Clean components for a field that would not fit fully in the "AP" memory.
Files:
/15OCT99/Q/SUB/OOP/QCLEAN.FOR
Fix:
  1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the corresponding area ($QOOP) on your system.
  2. COMRPL $QOOP/QCLEAN
  3. COMLNK $QPGOOP/IMAGR
Documentor:
Eric W Greisen
Date:
2000-02-04

Task:
FITAB
Summary:
FITAB would fail by overwriting (i.e. destroying) the input UV data set when it had to sort a table to time order in order to write the data set in multiple pieces.
Files:
/15OCT99/APL/SUB/AMERGE.FOR
/15OCT99/APL/PGM/NOTST/FITAB.FOR
Fix:
  1. Fetch the files listed above and place them in the corresponding areas ($APLSUB and $APGNOT) respectively on your system.
  2. COMRPL $APLSUB/AMERGE
  3. COMLNK $APGNOT/FITAB
