<p class="MsoNormal">You have no idea the pleasure your post brings to an old hacker like me, since that's how I still use DOE-2, including even DOE-2.2, i.e., by command line batch scripts. My recommendation to you is to be familiar with MS-DOS commands
and then walk through the run22.bat script to see what it does step-by-step. Keep in mind that all the "smarts" are in this batch file (run22.bat) that tells the computer to do this, and then do that.<br>
<br>
Setting up a DOE-2 run is really very straightforward (at least to me). The program needs an input file called INPUT.TMP, a weather file called WEATHR.TMP, and several utility or library files (BDLLIB.TMP - library file, BDLKEY.TMP - keyword file, HDRFIL.TMP
- hourly report file data, etc.). Note that these files are all temporary (*.TMP), so the common procedure is to copy them from their permanent file names, e.g., *.inp,*.bin, *.dat, etc.
<br>
<br>
DOE-2 then runs doebdl, which is an input processor program, and then runs doesim, which is the actual simulation program. Both produces output files, called OUTPUT (natch), that are typically concatenated and then renamed as [input file name].out, or in the
case of DOE-2.2, they're kept separate as *.bdl and *.sim. Once the simulation has been completed, the temporary files are typically deleted.
<br>
<br>
If you're looking at the run22.bat supplied with eQUEST, you'll notice that it contains some "bells and whistles" , like creating a subdirectory with the input file name, change to it, and then doing the simulations there. Such embellishments are not necessary,
and I like to keep my scripts simple and direct so I don't have to debug them, but to each his/her own.<br>
<br>
>From the looks of the screen dump you've provided, the script is having trouble finding the needed utility and library files. One surefire way to fix that is to give the full path, rather than the relative path, for the permanent copies of these files.<br>
<br>
Good luck and I hope you can get <i>it to work.<br>
