Problem running PORT (Parallel Offline Radiative Transfer) tool.

Hi,I successfully ran several runs on our cluster thanks to the help of engineers here. Thank you all.I recently found a tool in CESM that can do some radiative forcing calculations. But I faced some problems here.I did the configurations and settings according to this website:https://wiki.ucar.edu/pages/listpages-dirview.action?key=portOlder Documentation of older verision of PORT But I found this documentation somehow vague and I didn't understand how it works. I want to know if there are some more detailed userguide to this helpful tool. However, I tried some settings in my case and made it work to a certain extend. I created data according to the documentation. But when I tried to validate PORT, it didn't work.After I submitted the job, it stopped in less than a minute and the ccsm.log file ends with this:application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 1
pio_support::pio_die:: myrank= -1 : ERROR: ionf_mod.F90:
228 : NetCDF: Unknown file format
rank 1 in job 1 node22.local_38797 caused collective abort of all ranks
exit status of rank 1: return code 1 It is probably referring to the infile,  rad_drv_infile I don't know what the right format is for this file, but my file looks like this:It contains lot of lines like this:/home/mak/exe/1_1_2/port_trial/run/port_trial.cam.h1.2001-01-01-00000.nc/home/mak/exe/1_1_2/port_trial/run/port_trial.cam.h1.2001-01-02-45000.nc/home/mak/exe/1_1_2/port_trial/run/port_trial.cam.h1.2001-01-04-03600.nc/home/mak/exe/1_1_2/port_trial/run/port_trial.cam.h1.2001-01-05-48600.nc/home/mak/exe/1_1_2/port_trial/run/port_trial.cam.h1.2001-01-07-07200.nc/home/mak/exe/1_1_2/port_trial/run/port_trial.cam.h1.2001-01-08-52200.nc Hope you can help me out.
