Hi Molly,<br /><br />To gain access to the mapping of symbol selections (such as SYSTEM:TYPE) to their corresponding "values" I think you need to get ahold of a file called BDLKey.out.  This file is present in all full distributions of DOE-2.2 (in the "\doe22\src\" directory of the ZIP file), but I don't believe that this file is included in any of the eQUEST distributions.<br />Here is a snipet of the BDLKey.out file corresponding to the eQ 3.64 (DOE-2.2 v47h2) release that lists the options for SYSTEM:TYPE.  The symbol values are listed at the very end of each record:<br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new,courier;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">**********COMMAND NUM = 48*******************************************************************************************************<br />    COMMAND NAME      ABREV    IOP LEV START NUMB  TYPE  MAX NUM REF TB DEF TBL  VAL Nsav  Sim Chld Prnt  Pos Curr Deft  Num<br />                                        KEYS KEYS  SYMB  DEF DEF  START   START  LEN  len  len Clas Clas   21 Prnt  len TYPE<br /><br />    SYSTEM            SYST      50   0101123  658    10 2048   0 499104 1706825  997    1    0  130    0    0    0  997   29<br />  -- KEYWORD NAME     ABREV    UNITS       TYPE             LEN     MIN-NUMERIC     MAX-NUMERIC VAL-POS   DEFAULT<br /><br />  1> TYPE                                Symbolic Defined    1  100 (CODE-WORD       )  TABLE =0    1         -9 (* Required *    )<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   PSZ                              TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   19<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   PMZS                             TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   20<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   PVAVS                            TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   21<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   PVVT                             TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   28<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   PTAC                             TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   22<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   HP                               TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   15<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   SZRH                             TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    2<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   VAVS                             TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   13<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   RHFS                             TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   14<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   DDS                              TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    4<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   MZS                              TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    3<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   PIU                              TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   23<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   FC                               TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    9<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   IU                               TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   11<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   UVT                              TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    6<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   UHT                              TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    7<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   HVSYS                            TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   16<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   EVAP-COOL                        TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   26<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   RESYS2                           TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   29<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   RESVVT                           TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   27<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   RESYS                            TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   17<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   SZCI                             TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    5<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   CBVAV                            TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   18<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   FPH                              TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    8<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   PTGSD                            TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =   25<br />                              SYMBOL TABLE ENTRY   SUM                              TYPE =  100 DEF/REF  -1/ -1      VALUE =    1<br />
