Try putting the command COMPILE_OPT STRICTARR at the top of the procedure that is calling ENVI_COMPUTE_SUN_ANGLES. I suspect IDL thinks it is a variable instead of a function. If you are using parenthesis for array indices (shame on you), try using FORWARD_FUNCTION ENVI_COMPUTE_SUN_ANGLES instead. -- Robert Moss, PhD

description: Hi, Unless you really need ENVI functions that aren't implemented in IDL (and there aren't that many), or are actually using the ENVI GUI, you might want to use IDL routines, especially for simple things like solar position. For instance, the ZENSUN routine does everything ENVI_COMPUTE_SUN_ANGLES does: http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/en/misc/software/idl/html/src/esrg/ zensun.pro Cheers, Edward Hyer.
