I was just trying to generate an ASCII file using PrintF and found that
my system seems to limit the size of the output file to 64K (65536
characters). The file I produced was incomplete; changing the output
format results in a different incomplete file, but one still 65536
characters long. I was doing this interactively using:
IDL> OpenW, lun, 'output.dat', /Get_LUN
IDL> ulim = N_Elements(t)-1
IDL> FOR i=0, ulim, DO PrintF, t(i), v1(i), v2(i), v3(i), v4(i),
Format='(5f10.5)'
IDL> Close, lun
IDL> Free_LUN, lun
IDL> Spawn, 'ls -l output.dat'
-rw-r--r-- 1 blesht user 65536 Aug 29 14:11 sedmodin.dat
The vectors are several thousand elements long. I'm using IDL5.4 under
IRIX6.5.12. Does anyone know if this is an IDL problem that can be
addressed with some option or keyword I haven't found or a unix (IRIX)
related problem? Thanks.
