Hi all,
I'm using an IDL distribution on my university cluster, and for some reason, the reverse function does not exist. I just get the error message:
Attempt to call undefined procedure/function: 'REVERSE'
Does anyone know why this might be? I assumed reverse was one of the standard functions that should just be available. This is the only function I've tried so far that doesn't exist. Unfortunately I don't know where all the .pro files are stored in the bowels of the cluster.
I thought I might just be able to download the file online, but the only site that seems like it had it ( https://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssw/gen/idl_fix/soft/old350/r everse.pro) no longer works!
To note, I have asked our IT people, but I thought I'd ask on here as well, as the answer is likely to be quicker!
Thanks,
J

reverse.pro should be in the /lib directory your IDL distribution. It is in
/Applications/exelis/idl85/lib/ on my Mac
/usr/local/exelis/idl/lib on my Linux box
It sound like your !PATH is screwed up. If you are missing reverse.pro you are likely missing other important procedures --Wayne

Aha! Yes, the path wasn't correct. I had no idea where to look, but then I realised that if I typed 'which idl', it would show me where things are located.
It's funny how sometimes just writing a question out can help you solve things!
Thanks for the reply,
J
