Thank you ,very much. it works. But when i read these files again in
the same program like this:


OPENr,3, 'sdata1.eol'
OPENr,4, 'wdata1.eol'

subsdata=fltarr(levlesforp,8)
subwdata=fltarr(levlesforh,6)

READF,3,subsdata
readf,4, subwdata

it always says, end of file encountered. levlesforp and levlesforh
are exactly the lines of the file generated last step. eight and six
are the column number, why is that?
