Unable to create new case for SCAM

[csp]

Dear All,
I am unable to create the SCAM in CESM 2, using the following command:

./create_newcase --case test_scam_mandatory --compset FSCAM --res T42_T42 --user-mods-dir ../../components/cam/cime_config/usermods_dirs/scam_mandatory

it gives the following error:

Suggests that there is a syntax error in your user-mods-dir shell_commands script. I'm not sure what version of CESM you are using, but the correct SCAM usermods directories are typically here: cesm/components/cam/cime_config/usermods_dirs . It might be helpful to compare the code in your user mod directory to the ones in the cam/cime_config area.

@katec I tried downloading on different machine directly from the github but the same exact error is found, not sure what's wrong in this.

@katec Hello again, I am using CESM 2.2

It seems like your current shell doesn't like the "|&" syntax in the SCAM shell commands script file. This can happen with some versions of Bash and some non-bash shells. Can you try a different shell or different version? Alternatively, you could remove the if statement logic around "./xmlchange --force CLM_FORCE_COLDSTART='on'" which you shouldn't need for CESM 2.2.
