Re: how to spot where the warning is coming from

Hi Basit,

One thing I recommend to users is the "-x" option, which echoes every line of the NCL script as it's being executed:

ncl -x myscript.ncl

However, in order for this to be effective, you have to temporarily comment out the "begin" and "end" calls in your main code, if any. If you don't, NCL treats this as one big block and echoes the whole thing at once after it's finished.

Generally, and I've never understood this, fatal errors should cause the script to exit at that point. However, I don't think we are consistent with this, and some fatal errors will not truly be fatal. In some senses, this is actually better, because there have been cases where I was glad the code kept going. :-)

However, in case of warnings especially when they are coming from 'resources' section, line number is not mentioned with the warning. In case of small codes it is easy to spot and correct warnings. However, with large sprits its quite time taking exercise. I am just wondering if there is any way to spot line numbers of the script where the warnings are coming from?
