Hi all,
I've seen similar messages with problems using blackboard
variables on the newest version (101.0) of sac in the mailing list
threads, but no replies. Sorry if this is a repeat. When I try and
evaluate straightforward math using the blackboard variables on a
Intel MacPro (see below), my answers are wrong (although no error is
reported). The same commands work fine on previous versions of sac.
Has anyone come across a similar error, and/or know of a fix? Thanks
much,

Gavin Hayes

TEMP1 = 1.0000000e+03
TEMP2 = 1.0000000e+03
SAC> evaluate to temp3 1000 /100
SAC> getbb
TEMP1 = 1.0000000e+03
TEMP2 = 1.0000000e+03
TEMP3 = 1.0000000e+01

    This bug is the same one that has been seen on other messages on the
    sac-help list.
    Specifically ones concerning concatenation of blackboard variables.

    It was a bug that was introduced during a clean up the the sacio
    library making the
    routines saner for use in C and Fortran. It has a simple fix and
    should be available
    in the upcoming release of SAC.

    If you have the source you can fix it by applying a fix to SAC/src/
    getbbv.c
    Recompile and reinstall.

    Near Lines 61
    if(callFromC) {
    kvalue[nc] = 0;
    /*Add this line*/ } else {
    /* Add this line */ memset(kvalue + nc, ' ', kvalue_s - nc);
    }

    Cheers,
    Brian
