[ncl-talk] Can't work with reassign command ':=', and '::' call fortran command

[Ziyuan Wang]

Dear all Users:

I want to run a ncl scripts written by geos-chem model to read bpch files
(read_bpch.ncl attached).

1.When I use ncl/6.1.0 or 6.0.0, it can't work with the re-assign operator
:=, as error

fatal:syntax error: line 96 in file $NCL4GC/file_io/read_bpch.ncl before or
near : 

  fti         :

--------------^

line 96 in bpch.ncl is "fti         := get_string_from_bpch( inFile, R, 40 )
" (attached 1.error)

2. When I use ncl/6.3.0, in our school cluster there's no intel/12.1.5, so I
have to load gcc/4.7.2. Then it can't read fortran command. And for model
compiling I also need intel fortran.

fatal:syntax error: line 119 in file $NCL4GC/file_io/read_bpch.ncl before or
near : 

    BIN:

-------^

Line 129 in bpch.ncl is " BIN::bpch_hdr1( bytes, c_modelname, lon, lat,
halfpolar, center180 )" (Attached 2.error)

3.So I'm wondering how can I change read_bpch.ncl code, to make the ':='
work in ncl/6.1.0

Thank you everyone
