strange problem with ocean processing

NcfC

Hi,

I'm running ocean, from IC version 5.1.41, on a openSuse 13.1, and I got a strange problem when using "if" loop.

If I place 3 statements inside the loop, as shown below, I don't have any problems

n = 0
if( ( n == "1" )
then
w1 = 1.0
w2 = 1.0
w3 = 1.0
else
w1 = 1.0
w2 = 2.0
w3 = 2.5
)

but, if I place 4 or more statements, I get into errors:

n = 0
if( ( n == "1" )
then
w1 = 1.0
w2 = 1.0
w3 = 1.0
w4 = 1.0
else
w1 = 1.0
w2 = 2.0
w3 = 2.5
w4 = 1.5
)

)
^
SYNTAX ERROR found at line 2 column 1 of file *string*
*Error* lineread/read: syntax error encountered in input
*WARNING* (reader): too few right parentheses, ')' added at EOF

After the "ocean>" prompt, the terminal is irresponsive and the only way out is to kill the terminal. Does someone have any ideas on why this happens and/or how to solve it?

Thanks very much in advance.

  • Sorry for the delay - this post was stuck in moderation (and I'd not had any moderation notifications until yesterday). I just tried this and it works for me. Are you sure you didn't have some strange characters in there somewhere?

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hi, Andrew.

    thanks for the reply.

    Yes, I'm sure there's no strage characters. It bothers me because the same code works on another of our machines. The only difference between the 2 machines is that the other one has an older OS (opensuse 11.4) while this one has a newer version (opensuse 13.1). I first though it could be same OS update that could be the cause but I couldn't figure it out. But since opensuse is not one of the supported platforms, I didn't find any docs that could help me.

    thanks again for the reply.

    best regards,
