[TRNSYS-users] Problem in using cycle for parameters in owned created component

[David Bradley]

Chun Kwong,
   By setting NP to 51, your source code is going to always look for 
51 parameters. If you want to have your Type accept a variable number 
of parameters, you need to change the variable NP to NPMAX in the 
parameter statement (you'll have to change the variable in a number 
of places. Then, during the initialization time of your Type, you 
need to set the actual (as opposed to the maximum possible) number of 
parameters for your simulation - probably by setting a new variable 
called nPars to INFO(4). INFO(4) carries the number of parameters 
that were found in the input file. You can look at Type14 in the 
standard source code to see an example of how a variable number of 
parameters might be handled.
Cheers,
  David
