[TRNSYS-users] Is it possible to use a string variable in a deck file

[Jeff Thornton]

Eric,

There’s not.  But you can assign all the files in your project and then pass the logical units of the ones you want to the components that need them.

ASSIGN FILE1 25
ASSIGN FILE2 26
ASSIGN FILE3 27

Equations 1
LU_Weather = 27

Unit 2 Type 876 Data Reader
Parameters 1
LU_ Weather

Hope this helps!
