Hi,

I can not extract spectra from the PN backgroud file which I got from

	ftp://xmm.vilspa.esa.es/pub/ccf/constituents/extras/background/

[I can extract background spectra with mos1/2 files 
which I got from the same ftp location.]


From sas/xmmselect, I am getting :

FITS error 107 while accessing file "PN_background.ds': tried to move past end
of file
Error reading elements 1 thru 5836330 from column 1 (ffgcid).


Any idea?

I downloaded the PN_background.ds.gz file (which has a file size of 404797076).
and used the ftool fverify to check the file content: no errors found.

So I guess that the file that you have is not complete.
Please, repeat the download and/or make sure that you have sufficient disk
space.

Cheers,
  Matthias
