How to get RUN_REFCASE for branch run

Hi,I tried to use the compset F_2000_STRATMAM3_CN in CESM1.2.2 for a branch run in order to get daily output for some variablse. But it deos not work. Please see attached log files. The error message indicates the "File status unknown: case.ref.clm2.r.0001-05-01-00000.nc". The file "case.ref.clm2.r.0001-05-01-00000.nc" is output of previous CESM run with defaut settings and default namelist. 
Code:
What I did:

Code:
1) adding two lines in user_nl.cam

Code:
   fincl2='U','V','T','Q','CLOUD','O3','O3_SRF'

Code:
   nhtfrq=0,-24

Code:
2 updating env_run.xml

Code:
RUN_TYPE = "branch"

Code:
RUN_REFECASE=case.ref.clm2.r.0001-5-01.nc ! which was generated by previous run with defualt settings: RUN_TYPE="startup"

Code:
RUN_REFDATE="0001-05-01"

Code:
CONTINUE_RUN="TRUE"

Code:
<br />Did I do anything wrong ?  It is highly appreciated if you could help to fix it.<br /><br />Feng<br /><br />

Hi Feng,why don't just start over with a "start-up" run and set CONTINUE_RUN = "FALSE"?  Why do you want to start a branch run just for getting daily output? Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to do?Simone
