Hi,

We are working on the same issue. We wrote "imf" and "epg" files for a
parametric study. We wrote a batch file to run RunReadvarseso for each of the
parametric cases to convert "eso" files to "csv" files and we are able to get
"eso" output files for each parametric case. Then we could import 
various *.csv
sets into excel worksheets to create the reports for our goal by using batch
files. The problem is that the results in "Table.csv" files which are in kWh
seems correct but when converting the eso files into "csv" files using
RunReadeso.bat, the results in Joule are not correct. A decimal seperation
problem occurred after we added the SCHEDULE COMPACT lines and related REPORT
VARIABLE lines into imf files for getting the parametric results in the 
defined
order. We couldn?t solve the problem occurred in the final csv output files.

What can be the reason of this problem?

Thanks in advance

Aslihan
