[Wrf-users] error in running ungrib.exe

[Kemp, Eric M. (GSFC-610.3)[SCIENCE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS INC]]

Remove '#' and everything to the right of it.  The Fortran program is trying to parse the entire line and does not recognise '#' as the start of a comment.

Subject: [Wrf-users] error in running ungrib.exe

Hello

I am getting the following error while giving ./ungrib.exe:

 *** Starting program ungrib.exe ***
At line 103 of file read_namelist.f90 (unit = 10, file = 'namelist.wps')
Fortran runtime error: Cannot match namelist object name #date

There are only 3 FNL files properly linked as GRIBFILES AAA, AAB and AAC.
These are for 2013-05-16 : 12:00
                    2013-05-16 :  06:00
                    2013-05-17 :  00:00


I am pasting my namelist.wps below:

&share
 wrf_core = 'ARW',
 max_dom = 1,
 start_date = '2013-05-16_12:00:00','2006-08-16_12:00:00', #date of 1st metfile
 end_date   = '2013-05-17_00:00:00','2006-08-16_12:00:00',  #date of last and not 2nd metfile
 interval_seconds = 21600, #time interval between each metfile supplied
 io_form_geogrid = 2,
/

&geogrid
 parent_id         =   1,   1,
 parent_grid_ratio =   1,   3,
 i_parent_start    =   1,  31,
 j_parent_start    =   1,  17,
 e_we              =  73, 112,
 e_sn              =  60,  97,
 geog_data_res     = '10m','2m',
 dx = 30000,
 dy = 30000,
 map_proj = 'lambert',
 ref_lat   =  12.98,
 ref_lon   =  77.58,
 truelat1  =  10.0,
 truelat2  =  15.0,
 stand_lon =  85.0,
 geog_data_path = '/home2/ms/ce12s023/WRFCHEM/geog'
/

&ungrib
 out_format = 'WPS',
prefix = 'FILE',
/

&metgrid
 fg_name = 'FILE'
 io_form_metgrid = 2,
/

Despite the error I am getting some intermediate file (though with a prefix PFILE instead of FILE) corresponding to the last metfile.
A quick reply is highly appreciated. thanks in advance
