his code works (this is mostly a guess from reverse-engineering the source code, but it's consistent with the way the actual program works).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Old versions of Fortran had no built-in character or string data types, so programmers had to use tricks to deal
with them. This would have been true of the dialect of Fortran used in the original DOE2.1A, and so a form of the original technique used to deal with string literals persists in the code today. As a warning, this next part may give the mechanical engineers
out there a headache... A single character is traditionally encoded in ASCII using a single byte. A byte is 8 bits, and the largest 8 bit number is 11111111 = 255, so you can encode 256 unique characters using a single byte. As an example, the btye 01100001
= 97 represents the character 'a' in ASCII. The smallest built-in data type in early Fortran was the integer (or float) which is encoded using 4 bytes. The trick used in DOE2 is to encode string literals as an array of 8 integers (or float), and since each
integer contains 4 bytes (i.e. 4 characters), the entire string array represents a total of 8x4 = 32 characters. This is why there's a 32 character limit on string fields. So accessing the first element of this array by #L("C-ACTIVITY-DESC") or #L("C-ACTIVITY-DESC",0)
returns the first 4 characters, #L("C-ACTIVITY-DESC",1) returns the second 4 characters, and so on.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Now a little further into the weeds (this is more speculation into how it could be done rather than how it's actually
done under the DOE2 hood). Consider the string 'abcd'. This can be encoded into a single integer by making the four bytes of the integer be the same as the 4 character's ASCII representation in sequence together. So the first byte is 97(01100001), the second
98(01100010), the third 99(01100011), and the fourth 100(01100100). Also, in Fortran, integers are encoded in little-endian style which just means that we need to order the bytes in reverse order when constructing the integer. The entire integer in binary
form is then 01100100011000110110001001100001. The value of this integer in decimal is 1684234849. So, in DOE2-Land, the number 1684234849 is equivalent to 'abcd'.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">However, it appears that you can't access the integer representation of these four character 'words' in keyword expressions.
For example:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">if ("abcd" == 1684234849) then ... produces an error.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Also, you can't do arithmetic with the integer representation. Interestingly though, the '+' operator functions
as a concatenate operator when dealing with string literals. This can be used to compare the first 4, 8, 12, ... characters of a string. For example, try the following code for the lighting power density of a space. This expression considers the first 8
characters when checking the C-ACTIVITY-DESC field. This could be expanded to check all 32 characters, although the code would get a little bloated.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
