Hi everybody!
To correct the header of my waveforms (for example entering hypocenter information to sac header), I use this script:

#!/bin/csh


set outdir=/home/sonia/Slip/sacheader

set origin=(2012 01 11 17 08 00.79)
set lat_lon_dp=(36.3533 52.7873 15.6)
# --> year mm dd hh mm ss.s
# --> 2003 04 29 13 53 16.8





set evla=$lat_lon_dp[1]
set evlo=$lat_lon_dp[2]
set evdp=$lat_lon_dp[3]
set jul_day=`julday $origin[2] $origin[3] $origin[1] | grep Julian | awk '{print $3}'`
set sec_aux=`echo $origin[6] | awk '{print int($1),($1-int($1))*1000}'`
set OT=($origin[1] $jul_day $origin[4] $origin[5] $sec_aux[1] $sec_aux[2])



foreach st (`ls $outdir/*SAC`)

sac << END_sac
cd $outdir
readhdr $st
CHNHDR O GMT $OT
EVALUATE &,o * -1 to C
CHNHDR ALLT %C IZTYPE IO
ch evla $evla
ch evlo $evlo
ch evdp $evdp
ch LOVROK true
ch LCALDA true

writehdr over
exit
END_sac

end

and when I try to run it, I get this error:
Unexpected character: EVALUATE &,o * -1 to C
^
ERROR 1201: Could not find VARS variable C

I used to run this script in the past with another PC at the university and everything was right but now in my laptop ... I don't know what is wrong with it.
I was wondering if somebody could do me a great favor and help me through it in this critical situation for my project.
Thanks for your consideration.

    Hi Sonia,
    Looks like you updated your sac version. Please check carefully if the
    following change works.

    EVALUATE to C &1,o& * -1

      Dear Januka,
      Thanks for taking the time to respond.
      I did what you said and the error is this:
      unknown header format: 1 ',o'

      I was wondering if you could comment about this error. Thanks for your consideration.
      Sincerely
