Problem with saving snapshot SST & IFRAC field

[jhe@rsmas_miami_edu]

Hi,
I'm trying to add daily snapshot SST and IFRAC field to my output. But the model doesn't seem to respond to my changes.
Here is how I did it.
In 'pop2.buildnml.csh' file, I set

&history_nml
history_freq_opt = 'nday'
history_freq = 1
history_outfile = '${output_h}s'
history_fmt = 'nc'
history_contents = '$history_contents_filename'
/

My 'gx1v6_history_contents' file is like this,

7
SHGT
UBTROP
VBTROP
UVEL
VVEL
TEMP
SALT
SST
SST2
IFRAC

The model runs smoothly and gives me snapshot output, but it doesn't contain SST, SST2 and IFRAC. I guess I missed something when I set up the model. Can anyone please help? Thank you very much!

My 'gx1v6_history_contents' file is like this,

UVEL
VVEL
TEMP
SALT
SST
SST2
IFRAC

I think that the number (7) in the first line of this file is the number of fields expected in the file, try changing it to 10.
