output-format='BUFR:generic-frag' non supported #53

Closed amontani closed 6 years ago

amontani commented 6 years ago

Dear all, I use libsim-6.2.5-1.x86_64

I have just tried the following command v7d_transform --disable-qc --input-format='BUFR' --output-format='BUFR:generic-frag' oss_nc_2703_2505 out.bfr and I get the following message: [stderr] ERROR v7d_transform.dballe_class - requested export template generic-frag which does not exist [stderr] ERROR v7d_transform.dballe_class - Fatal error: dballe: requested export template generic-frag which does not exist

According to man page, this output format is supported: --output-format=STRING format of output file, in the form 'name[:template]'; 'native' for vol7d native binary format (no template to be specified); 'BUFR' and 'CREX' for corresponding formats, with template as an alias like 'synop', 'metar', 'temp', 'generic', empty for 'generic', the special value 'generic-frag' is used to generate bufr on file where ana data is reported only once at beginning and data in other bufr after;

Can you remember us the use case of this option? generic-frag was lost in new dballe implementation in libsim

you can use this command to get ana only file in native format: v7d_transform --input-format BUFR --variable-list="" prec.bufr prec.v7d and you can use prec.v7d in vg6d_getpoint.

This do not work for bufr format as is not possible to write ana only in generic template.
