For a BUFR file containing GTS bulletins with BUFR BUOY messages, the following output to STDERR was produced when using option ''%%--%%strict_checking 1'': BUFR.pm WARNING: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 BUFR.pm WARNING: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 BUFR.pm WARNING: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 BUFR.pm WARNING: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 BUFR.pm WARNING: CCITTIA5 minval not all bits set to zero but '000000000000' at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 BUFR.pm WARNING: CCITTIA5 minval not all bits set to zero but '000000000000' at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 BUFR.pm WARNING: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 Output to screen is exactly as if ''%%--%%strict_checking'' had not been used (in which case nothing is printed to STDERR). If using ''%%--%%strict_checking 2'', however, the problematic messages are left out from output to screen (which therefore starts with Message 6), while output to STDERR now changes to (the actual CCCC has been replaced with XXXX): BUFR.pm ERROR: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 In message 1 contained in bulletin with ahl IOZX11 XXXX 052100 CCR BUFR.pm ERROR: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 In message 2 contained in bulletin with ahl IOZX11 XXXX 052100 CCS BUFR.pm ERROR: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 In message 3 contained in bulletin with ahl IOZX11 XXXX 051800 CCX BUFR.pm ERROR: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 In message 4 contained in bulletin with ahl IOZX11 XXXX 060000 CCC BUFR.pm ERROR: CCITTIA5 minval not all bits set to zero but '000000000000' at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 In message 5 contained in bulletin with ahl IOZX11 XXXX 060000 CCD BUFR.pm ERROR: CCITTIA5 minval not all bits set to zero but '000000000000' at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 In message 7 contained in bulletin with ahl IOZX11 XXXX 060300 BUFR.pm ERROR: Compression set in section 1 for one subset message at /metno/local/bin/bufrread.pl line 143 In message 9 contained in bulletin with ahl IOZX11 XXXX 052100 CCT
