Attempt to call undefined procedure: 'DEFAULT' error [message #92017] Thu, 01 October 2015 01:29 Go to next message

I am trying to use the int_tabulated function, but I keep getting the above error. For example:

IDL> x = [0.,1.,2.,3.]
IDL> f = [3.,4.,7.,12.]
IDL> result = int_tabulated(x, f)
% Compiled module: INT_TABULATED.
% Compiled module: UNIQ.
% Compiled module: DEFAULT.
% Attempt to call undefined procedure: 'DEFAULT'
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

Now I have a file called default.pro in my idl/lib directory, and IDL can seemingly find it:

IDL> .compile default
% Compiled module: DEFAULT.
IDL> print, file_which('default.pro')
% Compiled module: FILE_WHICH.
/home/idl/lib/default.pro

I have also opened idlde, and in preferences->paths I have set <IDL_DEFAULT> as the first location in the list to see if this helped. The problem still occurs though.

Can anyone offer any help as to what is going on?

Many thanks.

Are you sure that <IDL_DEFAULT> is first? Check !path. I think you are
getting a SolarSoft UNIQ instead of the IDL distro UNIQ, which is
causing the need for DEFAULT.

This is the symptom one gets when a function is being called as a procedure, or a procedure is being called as a function. I suspect the default.pro that you have is not the one that int_tabulated.pro is expecting.

It is a bit of a mystery why a procedure/function named default.pro is being called at all. Int_tabulated is supplied by Exelis, and it calls a function uniq.pro also supplied by Exelis. Neither of these call a function named default.pro

But there is a modified version of uniq.pro written by the Solar Library
https://code.google.com/p/sswgdl/source/browse/trunk/sswgdl/ workarounds/uniq.pro?spec=svn25&r=25

that does call a procedure default.pro. This was poor programming practice -- if you want to modify an Exelis procedure, it is best to use a different name.

Thanks for all the help everyone. It turns out the problem was indeed that I had these additional copies of uniq.pro and default.pro. I must have needed to use them for something in the past, though I don't know what! Without them everything works a treat! :-)
