Re: [TRNSYS-users] variable name length problem
Graham,
I think that you have two different versions on your two machines.
TRNSYS 15 only ever looked at the first 10 characters of an equation
name and usually that was okay but if two equation names were both
longer than 10 characters and were exactly the same in their first 10
characters, TRNSYS 15 would think that you had defined the same
equation twice although there was no indication that TRNSYS was only
paying attention to the first 10 characters of the equation names. At
one point, we put an error into TRNSYS 15 so that people would be
prevented from making equation names longer than 10 characters. That,
however, did not make us popular so we changed it to a warning in a
later release. If the simulation that works isn't giving you any
message at all concerning your equation names then it is an earlier
version than the one that is giving you the error. If the one that
works is giving you a warning then it is a more recent version than
the one that is giving you the error.
Cheers,
David

Dear Trnsys users
We have just installed TRNSYS15 on a new machine and get the following
error message for a deck that runs fine on another machine.
***** ERROR *****
At least one equation uses a variable name longer than 10 characters.
Please use shorter variable names (<= 10 char)
What have we missed in the installation?
