UFS Repost: ERROR IN SRW POST-PROCESSING, WHEN ${FHR} IS FOR EXAMPLE 101

There was a question over on the UFS Community Forum I've grabbed and pasted down below from user liviu.oana88. I've asked her to come over here and provided a link for this discussion post for her to check out.

Hello,

I am running a SRW case (v. 2.1.0). However, after the simulation finishes (a month of forecast), I have 744 output files, and when I run ./run_post.sh, after hour 099, post fails with the following error:

FATAL ERROR:
ERROR:
From script: "exregional_run_post.sh"
Full path to script: "/home/wrf/fv3_latest/ufs_intel/ufs-srweather-app/scripts/exregional_run_post.sh"
The ${fhr} variable contains a 3-digit integer whose first digit is not
0. In this case, it is not clear how to set the variable post_fhr used
in constructing the grib2 file names generated by UPP:
fhr = "657"
Exiting with nonzero status.
End exregional_run_post.sh at Fri 20 Jan 2023 04:01:45 PM UTC with error code 1 (time elapsed: 00:00:02)
FATAL ERROR:
ERROR:

Full path to script: "/home/wrf/fv3_latest/ufs_intel/ufs-srweather-app/jobs/JREGIONAL_RUN_POST"
Call to ex-script corresponding to J-job "JREGIONAL_RUN_POST" failed.

End JREGIONAL_RUN_POST at Fri 20 Jan 2023 04:01:45 PM UTC with error code 1 (time elapsed: 00:00:03)

Is there a way I can fix this, since not all simulations are less than 4 days in lenght?

Thank you!

Hello, I am the original poster of this issue.

I think I managed to fix this, by modifying the "ufs-srweather-app/scripts/exregional_run_post.sh" script, around the line 245, in the "else case" by just setting post_fhr=${fhr}. I tested and UPP processes those files too.

Thank you Liviu, glad to see you were able to fix it! I'll mark this as answered then!
