The GFGEN and RMA2 model executables are public domain models, but their source code and distribution are controlled by the US Army Corps of Engineers. When USACE compiled these models in the past, an expiration date was built in. We wish that weren't the case, but it is how the models are distributed. When the latest models were released, there was a change to how these models receive information from the command line. There are a few options for resolving this issue:

1. Use SMS 13.1 Beta. The issue has been addressed in 13.1.

2. If using a version of SMS prior to SMS 13.1, run RMA2 interactively or use a custom batch file


For interactive mode:

When running GFGEN/RMA2 from a DOS prompt, type "?" after starting the programs to see a list of keyword commands. Then type in the individual file names as indicated.


For using a batch file:

See attached screenshots for examples.
