Well David, give me a break - I only go back to the PDP-11, though I do remember 'programming' by toggling switches on the front panel.

The IDL code is part of a larger script that gets fed to SeaDAS in batch mode. When passed to SeaDAS, IDL statements in loops need the continuation characters. Indeed, it is a bother.

Right - there was no HDF_CLOSE, but neither was there an HDF_OPEN. I've been confused about the relationship between HDF_OPEN - HDF_CLOSE pairs and HDF_SD_START - HDF_SD_ENDACCESS - HDF_SD_END triplet. If I add an HDF_CLOSE, referencing the index number that goes with the HDF_SD_START, I get the same error as before. If I bracket the code with HDF_OPEN - HDF_CLOSE, it fails with "HDF_CLOSE: Invalid file id, FID(xxxxxxx).

I guess I can play with different combinations, but I'd like to understand what is going on and what I read baffles me. It was a lot simpler to toggle switches - there were only eight after all.
