Hi SAC help,
I have a macro which tells SAC to run an executable. This executable
requires input. The macro as I was given it is structured as follows:
echo on
rh *.?[LH]?
setbb dp &1,evdp
setbb del &1,gcarc
$run /space3/cms78/scripts/unpacking_preprep/src/ttimes
P <------ input into the executable
S
%dp
%del
-10
-10 <------input ends
$endrun
quit
Running this macro produces a segmentation fault on my version of SAC
(101.4 64 bit Ubuntu).
Then, when I try running the executable from SAC (without using the macro),
the following appears:
SAC> $run /space3/cms78/scripts/unpacking_preprep/src/ttimes
run?
ERROR 1203: Could not find VARS section terminal
SAC>
I have two questions.
1. By using sc instead of $run in the macro, I can get the executable to
run from SAC, but then the macro will not give the input to the executable.
Is there another way of running the executable and and inputting the above
values from the same macro?
2. What does error 1203 mean and is there a way around it in this
situation? I have compiled all requisite components in both 32bit and 64bit
(previously listed as a potential solution), and both produce the same
error.
Many thanks,
Charlie

Dear Charlie -
Problem (1) is a bug -- SAC should not fail when using the $run command (though the program run might fail!)
Problem (2) is not a bug. The $run command is only usable inside of a macro. Outside of it, the string "$run" is interpreted as a use of a macro variable, and those don't exist except inside of macros!
A note regarding your macro ... you can simply put &1,evdp& in between the $run ... $endrun, and the proper value will be substituted -- no need to use a blackboard variable to retrive its value.

Dear Charlie,
Thanks for reporting this bug in SAC.
A fix for this is straight forward if you have the source. Apply the attached patch and recompile.
The next version of SAC (101.6) will be appearing soon and will include this bug fix.
Thanks again.
