mscred.mscarith problem report

Guest wrote on Mar 01, 2006

Hello,

There's a typo in mscred.mscarith.cl which prevents msarith from
running in pyraf.

line# 25 in msarith.cl should be changed from

int nop1, nop2, nresults, next1, next2, nexts, n

to

int nop1, nop2, nresult, next1, next2, nexts, n

The error in pyraf is:

apply(self._clFunction, parList, kw)
File "<CL script mscred.mscarith>", line 90, in mcsarith
taskObj.nresult = iraf.sections.nimages
File "/usr/stsci/pyssgdev/2.4.2/pyraf/iraftask.py", line 1135, in __setattr__
raise AttributeError(str(e))
AttributeError: Unknown parameter requested: nresult

Hi Nadia,
I'm sure Frank will fix this however it is technically legal because of the cl parameter abbreviation mechanism, e.g.

ecl> int nresults
ecl> nresults = 12345
ecl> =nr
12345

This is clearly a typo, other instances however might simply be programmer slack. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out.

Cheers,
-Mike

Yes this was a typo mistake which has been fixed as suggested for future releases.

Hi,

I found the same problem in the new version of MSCRED. I'm use with IRAF v2.16.

To the fix typo, in mscred.mscarith.cl file, line 25, I change the variable name "nresults" to "nresult".

Somehow the old bug crept back in, sorry 'bout that. I've rebuilt the distribution files with the fix so any new installations should be fine.
