Missing file "rpointer.ocn.ovf"

Dear All,While I'm running the CAM4 with trop_mozart chemistry, after the successful initial running (1 day in my case), I change the "CONTINUE_RUN" to "TREUE" and submit a restart run. However, it fails with an error below:PGFIO-F-209/OPEN/unit=97/'OLD' specified for file which does not exist.File name = rpointer.ocn.ovf I do find the file like "rpointer.atm" under the running directory but there is indeed no "rpointer.ocn.ovf" file. Does anyone know why the "rpointer.ocn.ovf" file fails to generate? Thank you. Jian

I assume you are running a fully coupled compset (B) - the ocn doesn't start until day 2 so you must run at least 3 days before restarting.

Dear Jedwrds,Thanks for your reply and your suggestion works fine for the (B) compset. Could you further explain the difference between the rpointer.ocn.ovf and rpointer.ocn file? Thank you. Jian
