[TRNSYS-users] Variable units in fortran code

[David BRADLEY]

Florian,
   This is interesting (and confusing). The getSimulationTimeStep() 
function should return a double precision number whose value is the 
timestep in hours. Is it also returning some text as well?

   The implementation is usually something like:

Double Precision  Timestep   ! this declares a variable called Timestep 
as being "double precision" which indicates how much memory is used to 
store the value

Timestep = getSimulationTimeStep()  !this line calls the function and 
sets the return value to the variable called "Timestep"

am I interpreting your email correctly that you get back some number and 
some text appended to it?
Best,
  David
