Hello! I am trying to calculate an SST anomaly for spring months, which I had lots of success doing it for summer.

However, following the same steps, I get the following error:

execution exception: java.io.IOException: l3bin failed with exit code 255.
Check log for more details.
L3BIN 5.12 (Dec 19 2018 12:40:40)
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.19) thread 0:

    major: Invalid arguments to routine
    minor: Out of range
Input listing file: "" not found.

This is the contents of my txt file:
A20030602003090.L3b_MO_NSST.nc
A20030912003120.L3b_MO_NSST.nc
A20031212003151.L3b_MO_NSST.nc

I am using a Mac.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! What am I missing?

There is a formatting problem with your text file.  See this thread for some suggestions:

I am using emacs to generate the text files. It worked for me before, and it looked exactly the same. Do I need to put the X at the end of the last file?
Bianca

The example in which an "X" was added to a file was just a trick to check the number of "newline" characters at the end of the file.   The list files require a single <newline> at the end of every line.   The error message 'Input listing file: "" not found.' means the file has one or more extra newline characters.  These are not normally visible in modern editors, but emacs has "whitespace" mode to help with this.  When you enable whitespace mode a "$" appears where there is a newline character.  Your file probably looks like this under whitespace mode:
A20030602003090.L3b_MO_NSST.nc$
A20030912003120.L3b_MO_NSST.nc$
A20031212003151.L3b_MO_NSST.nc$
$
so you just need to delete the empty line to get:

A20030602003090.L3b_MO_NSST.nc$
A20030912003120.L3b_MO_NSST.nc$
A20031212003151.L3b_MO_NSST.nc$


I checked, and there is not an extra line at the end. It is continuing to give me the following error:
execution exception: java.io.IOException: l3bin failed with exit code 255.
Check log for more details.

Any other possible bugs?

I ran your calculation on a MacOS system and will attach the list file.  Here, I get:

I am not able to download the .list file because there is no application to open it. It really looks like the format of my .txt file is correct, and when I ran climatologies for Summer I did the exact same thing and it worked just fine. Now I am trying it for Spring (and hopefully Fall and Winter), and I keep running into the same error. I know it should be working because I am using the exact same method and format as before. Could it be because I am running the last version and not the new 7.5.3 updated version? Should I update to the newer version? Will I lose my saved sessions if I update?

Alright, I managed to open the file using emacs, and it looks exactly the same as my txt file. Still did not run. I also updated to the newer version of Seadas (7.5.3) and I did not lose any of my previously saved sessions, they carried over with the update (amazing!) but unfortunately, still no luck with the L3bin function. Seriously does not seem to be working for me.

Also, here is what my GUI looks like right before I click RUN. Notice the ofile - that is not what it is supposed to look like. Maybe that is helpful.

I am realizing that for some reason my data processor is in 7.5.2, even though I have updated to the 7.5.3, as shown in this image. I have tried updating the data processors, and it said success and I restarted my computer. Still same error. Any ideas?

I have attached my screen right before I run it so you can see what I mean. The GUI says 7.5.2, whereas I am working in 7.5.3. Why would this be?
