<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
<br>
Today I have tried the solution below. Unfortunately, the customized script didn’t provide a solution. The behavior in the customized script is totally erratic and variables get undefined within the script. It’s not just the cts_opt variable, but when I comment
some lines that try to read the cts_opt variable, it starts to complain that other variables are unknown, e.g. lat2d, or FTitle. I have tried to generate local variables and write the variables into these but they suffer from the same problem. I suspect that
it is some sort of memory issue where bits and bytes are altered or overwritten as soon as a variable is read.
<br>
<br>
For example, I inserted a printVarSummary statement at many places in the file attached. All the way down this message is the result. The procedure crashes between lines 42 and 49 in the attached file. Which seems completely random. If I comment lines 44-47,
the procedure crashes at line 60. If I comment lines 51-58, I get:<br>
<br>
fatal:Variable (FTitle) is undefined<br>
fatal:["Execute.c":8640]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 99 in file ./curv_to_scrip.ncl<br>
<br>
So all of a sudden it’s no longer cts_opt that is missing, but another variable.<br>
<br>
I suppose there is not really an easy solution to this problem. As said, I think it is memory-related.<br>
<br>
Best, <br>
Peter<br>

issue. This has actually happened with earlier versions of NCL (up to 2 years ago), but it doesn't happen consistently.

if the problem persists.<br>
