Is there a space or some other illegal character in your file name?

Excellent idea. File names that are legal under Windows may not be under Unix rules.

File is named BAS10930.17o.

Thought maybe the GLONASS was derailing it, wrote a new RINEX with GPS only, same issue.

Wait till morning and see if NGS has a solution.

Sometimes it seems like OPUS may have some reason to not work, like not having good CORS data yet, but it throws out a random message having nothing to do with the problem.

I'm sure the error message has SOMETHING to do with the problem, it's just trying to figure out what that something is.

The way I read the error message is "this is logger, I can't do my job, sorry I can't really say why but this is the error OS is sending me."

Somebody just have the translation for OS.

NGS refuses to add "The dog ate my homework." to the incredible messages lists.

What really perturbs me is getting an "Abort" message saying my data is not good, yet three days later the unedited file gives a very good solution. I can live with the honest "We did the best we could but did not have three good available CORS, please try later".

Personally though if the fault is their data, why not save my file and send me a solution whenever it gets better. That would save me from clogging up their filters by multiple resends.

No, the way OPUS error messages work is:

"There is a big fishbowl of possible error messages. There are over 300. Each message is written on a small slip of paper (like in a fortune cookie.)

When a solution aborts, the computer pulls the five best answers from the fishbowl. Then the fishbowl is then aggressively shaken and 3 additional messages are then removed at random. These 3 messages are returned to the user.

The five best answers are replaced in the fishbowl and the error system is ready for the next failure!"

Really, I am pretty sure this is the way it works.

And the reason that it works so well is similar to Fortune cookies. All of the possible answers are just generic enough to work. Kind-of.
