[TRNSYS-users] Type 9 Data reader

Hoofar,

   The “Floating point division by zero” error is a generic one that 
Fortran generates when a divisor isn't checked to make sure that it is 
non zero before evaluating it. If you can send me the TRNSYS part of 
your project (the file that you're trying to read with Type9 and the 
project that attempts to read it) then I might be able to use some 
debugging tools to find out what is happening.

kind regards,

  David
