<p>The immediate problem I see in this coding is if there is a space in the deckfile name then the trim function will cut off the name at the first space. I have found it to be more robust to pass the length of the string and then trim to that exact length.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Michael,<br /><br /> I assume you are using TRNSYS16 coding style in your component.

<div> </div>
<div>I managed to build a customized TRNSYS Type in C++ by extending the Type202 example that is delivered with TRNSYS 17. I can access the input values and return the corresponding output values without any problems. However, the communication with the TRNSYS Core functions somehow don’t work. Whenever I invoke some function that returns an integer value (like getMaxLabelLength()), the result is NaN. Whenever I try to invoke some function that returns characters (like getDeckFileName()), TRNSYS crashes with something like „Access violation at address XXXXX in module ‚TRNDLL.DLL‘. Write of address XXXXX.“ or with „forttrl: severe (408): fort: (18): Dummy character variable ‚GETLABEL@0‘ has length 300 which is greater than actual variable length 1“ (in case of getLabel).</div>

<div>As I read in other topics like this one, there seemed to be several issues in the TRNSYS.h header file and the library files long ago: </div>

<div>However, 11 years later, is there a workaround for this problem?</div>
