READ_PHYPAR - could not find input file: ^@^@......^@

[zhlove59]

Hi,everyone,
I'm a newer for ROMS,When I'm starting compute ,I'm getting an error at the very beginning:

Quote:
READ_PHYPAR - could not find input file: ^@^@......^@



I have provided ana_initial ,*_grd.nc,*_tide.nc,and stations_*.in as input files, I'm wondering, what input file does it require,or how to modify *.h file ? I'm just want to compute the current!

any suggestions? - thanks

my *.h is such as:

#define UV_COR
#define UV_LOGDRAG
#define DJ_GRADPS

#define TS_DIF2

#define SOLVE3D
#define STATIONS
#define CURVGRID

#define WESTERN_WALL

#define SOUTHERN_WALL


#define RAMP_TIDES
#define SSH_TIDES

#ifdef SSH_TIDES
#define EAST_FSCHAPMAN
#define NORTH_FSCHAPMAN

#else
#define EAST_FSGRADIENT
#define NORTH_FSGRADIENT
#endif
#define UV_TIDES
#ifdef UV_TIDES
#define EAST_M2FLATHER

#endif

It is asking about the ocean.in file which is provided on the command line when running ROMS. See the bottom of this page: https://www.myroms.org/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started

First of all, sorry for catch again this very old post.
In any case: this is exactly the error I have just now.
I'm just trying to port my test-case on a new pc, just copied *.in, *.h and build.sh and installed new version of roms from svn.
Upwelling compile and execute correctly, but when I try to execute my own test this error appear in the reporting page.
Note that if I run on screen (./oceans < ocean.in ) those ^@^@^@ do not appear, and the system just print:

READ_PHYPAR - could not find input file:

with no file indicated.
THose symbols just appear if I put the printing in a log
./oceans < ocean.in > log&

It seems that the system check for a non-existing file with no name. This is after grid and initial conditions files are found and before checking existence of boundaries. It is like there was somewhere hidden characters i cannot find. THe error persists in this implementation even if I remove every nc input, excepts the grid. It could be the grid file (which works on the other machine and version)?

*****SOLVED******
thanks to Ilaria, it was a matter of old version of the *.in file
