[TRNSYS-users] Updating TRNSYS types which use COMMON BLOCKS to version 16

[David Bradley]

Jochen,
  Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. All of the variables that 
were previously contained in the TRNSYS COMMON blocks were moved to a 
module called "TrnsysData." What you need to do is figure out which of 
the variables in the COMMON block are actually being used by your Type 
(say, for example, that it is ITMAX and ITRACE). You then add a line 
that says:

USE TrnsysDATA, ONLY: ITMAX, ITRACE

ITMAX and ITRACE are defined in TrnsysData as integers so you don't have 
to define it again in your Type. You then delete the entire line 
starting with COMMON

Kind regards,
 David
