Hello,
I am trying to use a IDL on a different machine. I logged on to the other machine using putty and type in 'idl'. But I don't know how to write or compile the program using linux based command line.
I have been using IDL on my windows computer so don't have any idea how to run or compile or edit the programs. I had used 'idlde' on a different server before but not on a command line.
Thanks,
Mahesh

On of the (many) secrets of IDL is that the .RUN command doesn't really
run anything. (Actually, it runs main-level programs, but most people
don't know what these are, so it's not like it counts.) RUN is a hold-
over from the BASIC language from the early 1970's, when it was used to
run a BASIC program. But, the command only compiles IDL procedures and
functions, and for that purpose it is better to use the eponymously
named .COMPILE command. :-)
Cheers,
David

Compile it and then run it. Inside idl
.compile foo.pro
foo
Cheers.

Here comes another problem, I was trying to submit a job to the HPC cluster, since the data is massive. How can I call my idl code after I loaded the idl module? Shall I just compiler the pro files into sav or something else?
