remain in program’ or ‘exit’. If you continue, you should be
able to change your boiler link and performance curve.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>Try this. Make a backup of your INP file. Open the INP file using
notepad or some sort of text reader and search for “boilers”. You
should be under the Boilers section between Chillers and Domestic Water
Heaters. Delete the lines with HIR-FPLR and HIR-FT (if they exist). This will
restore default to your performance curves for your boiler. Save and close and
try it now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>If that doesn’t work, search “performance curves”
and delete the entire curve that you think is giving you problems. Also make
sure you delete anything that is referencing that specific curve or
you’ll run into other problems. Do this by searching the performance
curve name and removing the lines of code that references it. Note that all
this is doing is removing your custom curve and setting everything to default.
You will have to re-create your curve again. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>Unfortunately, I’m not given enough information on why the
error is being caused. Some possibilities are that the boiler referencing a
curve could be misspelt; object names should be no longer than 32 characters or
they get truncated resulting in the first possible error; “&D”
is a predefined default code for mandatory numeric values (not for string
values, I think).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
