TUFLOW Message
ERROR 0100 - A "BC Database" command must occur before a "Read BC" command

Alternate Message
NA

Message Type
ERROR

Description
A BC Database command must occur prior to any 1D (.ecf) and 2D (.tbc) Read GIS BC command(s).

The reason for this is that BC Database can be specified any number of times, with the most recent occurrence being used to set the active database when a Read GIS BC command occurs. This was used by modellers as a way of applying different events or probabilities to different boundaries. If using the 2010-10 release or later, it is recommended to switch to the new event management feature as this is much more flexible and intuitive (see Section 4.12 in the 2010-10 TUFLOW Manual).
This error can occur if bc_dbase is listed under a scenario/event block, but incorrect scenario/event is specified and the simulation runs without bc_dbase.

Suggestions
Check the BC Database command occurs before any Read GIS BC commands. If there is no BC Database command one will need to be specified (unless there are no boundaries, ie. no Read GIS BC commands).
