<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hello
users,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I am
having trouble opening several created and fully functional eQuest files due to
a 'file format error' stopping the pd2 file from loading. I've searched for the
error by line # in a text editor and it is always related to
"zonenamingscheme' which is often 'user defined' or '-automatic-'.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Note, I
can get around this by opening the .inp file and reloading the weather file,
but I am hoping there is something I can do to avoid this (especailly when
reviewing other firms files, where I usually get a similar problem)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I'm using
version 3-63 on windows 7 and recently 'inhereted' these files from a coworker
who was using XP. Switching to compatability mode does not seem to work.
Deleting the 'zonenamingscheme" line seems to remove some critical
information for the file to work properly as well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Has
anyone encountered this before? Is 'zonenamingscheme' a command unique to an
older version perhaps?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I also
tried to compare the old .pd2 to the new .pd2 (after reloading the .inp and weather
file) to see what the new 'zonenamingscheme' would be, and was surprised to see
there is far less information in the new pd2 (approx 50 lines of text vs
thousands), so they are uncomparable. I'm fairly puzzled as to why this is and
also wonder if it has to do with the version. Any help is appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
