Question

The menu system, and/or BPE, can not find a script or file but I know that file exists. For example: 

 When setting up the panels for the BPE using 6.1, I get the following messages:
 
 *** SR RDSCRT: ERROR OPENING SCRIPT FILE
                 SCRIPT FILE NAME: U:/SCRIPT/RXNBV3
 
  *** SR RDSCRT: ERROR OPENING SCRIPT FILE
                 SCRIPT FILE NAME: U:/SCRIPT/BRDTST
 
 
 If all of the programs that I need are located in $U/SCRIPTS, then why are
 these programs not there?

Answer

It looks like your LOADGPS script has gotten a little confused. When LOADGPS is started the very first time, it creates links in the $U/WORK area for the following variables 

VARIABLE	LINK NAME
$U		U:
$X	   	X:
$P		P:
$Q		Q:
$XB		XB:
$XG		XG:
$XM		XM:

When you are running a script, or just in the command mode, you normally use the $U variable. However, when a bernese program is run (either a menu program, service program, or processing program) the bernese environment automatically runs programs from $U/WORK. When filling out the input files for the program, it uses the LINK (not the variable). If the link does not point to the same place the variable points, you can get into trouble.

Try the following command sequence: 


[braunjizu braunj]$ cd $U/WORK
[braunjizu WORK]$ pwd
/home/braunj/GPSUSER/WORK
[braunjizu WORK]$ echo $U
/home/braunj/GPSUSER
[braunjizu WORK]$ ls -lrt U:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 braunj   braunj         20 Oct 14 11:04 U: -> /home/braunj/GPSUSER

The link should point to the same directory as the variable. If this is not true, there is an easy fix. Exit the LOADGPS environment (exit out of all LOADGPS windows). Then run LOADGPS with the "NEW" command line argument.

For example: 


[braunjizu braunj]$ LOADGPS NEW
