[TRNSYS-users] Problem with DLL on several computers

[David BRADLEY]

Tobias,
   I would be very surprised if this error had anything to do with the 
operating system. In a Trnsys16 component, you had to reserve the number 
of outputs that you wanted your Type to use and you did so by a command 
that looked something like:

INFO(6) = 12

if you wanted to reserve 12 outputs. The error you are getting is that 
some component is reserving a certain number of outputs for itself and 
then is setting an output that is outside of the reserved range. The 
following would cause the error:

INFO(6) = 12
...
OUT(14) = someVariable

The error message should mention the Unit and Type number of the 
component that is causing the problem. Please send me that information 
and I may be able to help you look a bit further.

I have two guesses as to why the error occurs on some computers but not 
on others. First, the check that is generating the error can be turned 
off by changing the "debug mode" flag in the simulation control cards. 
In the Studio, open the control cards tool (where you set the simulation 
start and stop times) and scroll down to the field that says "debug 
mode" Debug mode may be turned off on one computer but not the other. 
Second (more likely) there is another DLL in the 
..\TrnsysXX\UserLib\DebugDLLs\ or ..\TrnsysXX\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ 
directory of one of the computers but not the other.
Kind regards,
  David
