endif<br>
<br>
... anytime you are trying to set a keyword with a symbolic data
type, you must use the SymbolIndex() or #si() function. Symbolic
keywords are those that take text inputs, either as a user defined
command such as a schedule (e.g. SPACE:LIGHTING-SCHEDUL) or a BDL
pre-defined symbol (e.g. SPACE:DAYLIGHTING or SYSTEM:OA-CONTROL)<br>
<br>
You also have to make sure you are using the proper DOE-2 symbol
value, not the eQUEST detailed interface value. To identify the
correct DOE-2 symbol value you can usually right click and look at
the DOE-2 item help for that keyword and it will show you the
valid inputs. Or, look at the .inp file and see what actually
shows up for the input to a particular symbolic keyword.<br>
<br>
Have fun.<br>
