(RESOLVED) 2019 FNL data "ERROR: Error in ext_pkg_write_field"

Hello.
There is a problem with metgrid.exe. The following error appears.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
Processing domain 1 of 1
 Processing 2019-09-05_00
    FNL
 WRF_DEBUG: Warning DIM 4, NAME num_metgrid_levels REDEFINED by var VV 35 34 in wrf_io.F90 line 2465
ERROR: Error in ext_pkg_write_field
Warning: ieee_underflow is signaling
Warning: ieee_inexact is signaling
FORTRAN STOP
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -----------

This problem does not occur with 2017 and 2018 FNL data.
Has anything changed from the 2019 FNL data?

HI,
Assuming you are using a WPS version older than 4.0, the problem is likely related to the update to GFS data in June of this year. Take a look at this announcement to see if this applies and if the solution helps you:
