Hi Mike, Daryl, Jimmy C,
I've attached the error message, sfcfil settings, station table, station
data, and packing file for your reference.
Thanks for the ideas - unfortunately I am still getting the same error
message when running sfedit. It seems as though the .gem file created
doesn't have the hour, wind direction, and wind speed parameters,
despite those being specified in the profiler.pack file (which I placed
in the same directory as the common METAR.PACK).
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Dave

Hi Dave,
You might try changing the TIMSTN parameter, since I think that is the
number of additional stations you can add to the file once its
created. Try setting TIMSTN to 50/50, and then you might be able to
add the additional station information and times to the file.

So if you ran sfcfil:
sfprmf=profiler.pack
plus all the other parameters.
Then you ran sfedit and added the data. Make sure you delete the old
surface file you created because it will not get overwritten.
Only other thing I can think of is the PARM statement at the beginning
of the file, should read:
PARM = HOUR;DRCT;SKNT
same order as in the packing file.

Hi,
Well, this didn't work either...exact same error message. I've
attached the .pack file I created, just in case I'm missing something...

Hi-
Parameter packing file is the culprit. Just specifify a new .pack file
to contain your 3 parameters.
HOUR 0. 23. 1.
DRCT 0. 360. 1.
SKNT 0. 100. .1
Build the gempak file with the new packing file, then it should work.
