When debugging scripts you need to consider the process used to submit the job. First a script is accessed and expanded to create the job file. This job file is then submitted to the relevant system where it is run, possibly via a queuing system. Errors can occur at any of these steps.
Location of ecflow script
The first thing to check is whether the job file can be created. In ecflowview you should be able to view your script. If not, you should receive a pop up window indicating a file read error. This indicates that ECFLOW cannot find your script as either it does not exist or ecFlow cannot find it. Look at the value of the ECF_SCRIPT variable to see where ecFlow expects to find the file. The location can be modified using the variable ECF_FILES as described later.
