Hello Telemac fellows,

I encountered a small problem recently regarding the steering file.

I have two lines in the steering file that are very long, for example:

NUMBER OF TRACERS = 2
NAMES OF TRACERS = 'SALINITY        PSU             ';'SEDIMENT        G/L           
  '
PRESCRIBED TRACERS VALUES = 0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.

And I got the error messages saying the second line is too long. Then I fixed it by eliminating the units in the names of the tracers.

After that, I found the prescribed values are not read properly neither. I have 9 boundaries, and it should be 18 values for 2 tracers in total. But I only found 15 in the scree printouts.

Is there a limit of a line in steering file? Is it possible to split a long line into two separate lines?

Thanks!

The maximum length is (as far as I know) 72 characters. You can split the line at the = sign like this: PRESCRIBED TRACERS VALUES = 0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.;0.
