Invalid value error for "scm_iop_lhflxshflxTg=.true."

[r_a_khan]

I am running a single column model and I set the following variable in the namelist:

scm_iop_lhflxshflxTg=.true.

However when I try to build the case, I get the following:

"err=CAM build-namelist - ERROR: Invalid namelist variable in '-infile' .../Case_3.1/Buildconf/camconf/namelist.
ERROR: in validate_variable_value (package Build::Namelist): Variable name scm_iop_lhflxshflxtg has values that does NOT match any of the valid values: iop eulc slt off."

This doesn't match the valid values given in the namelist definitions at CESM2 CAM6.3 Namelist Definitions:

• Valid Values ['.true.', '.false.']
• Possible Default Values
• Description and out-of-the-box Default: Use the SCAM-IOP specified surface LHFLX/SHFLX/ustar/Tg instead of using internally-computed values
  Default: FALSE

As I want to use the IOP file values, I tried setting the value to be 'iop' instead as suggested by the error. However that gives me:

"
err=CAM build-namelist - ERROR: Invalid namelist variable in '-infile' .../Case_3.1/Buildconf/camconf/namelist.
ERROR: in _validate_pair (package Build::NamelistDefinition): Variable name scm_iop_lhflxshflxtg has an input value of type string,
'iop'
but is defined as type logical in /home/sm_ramkh/cesm2.1.0/components/cam/bld/namelist_files/namelist_definition.xml
"

If someone could shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Ramsha
