I wish it did... unfortunately after verifying that raob.cdl is there and
adjusting the pqact.gempak entry to:

# upper air perl decoder
DDS|IDS ^U[ABDEFGHIJKLMPQRSTXZ].... .... ([0-3][0-9])
         PIPE    /home/ldm/decoders/bin/ua2nc
         etc/raob.cdl
         data/decoded/upperair
         (\1:yy)(\1:mm)

patrick,

the year is now 4 digits,  (1:yyyy)(\1:mm)

if this doesn't solve the problem more stuff later on:

these errors are still coming through:
Dec 07 23:33:26 unidata pqact[13166]: pipe_prodput: trying again

/home/ldm/decoders/bin/ua2ncetc/raob.cdldata/decoded/upperair0412 write error

the write error makes me suspect that the directory isn't writable by the
ldm.  an easy test is to do a command line invocation as ldm in HOME, ie

% decoders/bin/ua2nc etc/raob.cdl data/decoded/upperair 200412 < <datafile>

the data file shouldn't be older than one day or the data will be skipped

if still having problems, what version of decoders? latest is 3.0.6

robb...
