adding a field in the header

pascale wrote on Oct 10, 2009

Hi,

During combining frames with bad pixel masks, using the mscred.combine task, I obtain the following error message :
Warning: Image header parameter not found (EXTVER)
and the output image is not created.

So I tried to add this field (EXTVER) to the header of the frames using hedit, but I obtain the following error message :
ERROR: Impossible type conversion when accessing image header parameter (EXTVER)

Thank you for your help.

The EXTVER keyword should be an integer value, but the complaint about it is probably masking the real problem due to error cascading. Try deleting the keyword and adding it again with a value of 1 (one), when you run the task again you should see the real error. This will likely be something like a missing header value or e.g. mask file.
