[Equest-users] Warning: ECONO-LOW-LIMIT = *UNUSED*

[Adrian Gurga]

Carol,

With all due respect, "Only to input the temperature and to look at your
help screen." is not a complete sentence.  Please reply using English if
you'd like to post on a listserv.  If you have advice on how to address this
warning, please provide it.  Additionally, "Flaming" (
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=flaming) is a behavior
typically reserved for prepubescents on chat forums, not professional
listservs.  Please show some professional courtesy in your responses.  Now,
let's move forward amicably and discuss the actual topic of the post.

All,

We all know that as eQUEST is free software, it has very poor technical
support which is why listservs like this exist.  Here is the research I've
done so far.  Inputting a seach for "econo-low-limit" or even just "econo"
in the eQUEST helpfile produces no results.  Are there "pull down help
menus" which discuss this topic as Carol suggests?  If so, please direct me
to them.  Googling "econo-low-limit" produces one relevent hit other than
this listserv, a user poses the same question I have, but is issue is never
resolved (http://www.energymodelhelp.com/SMF/index.php?topic=107.0 ).  A
search of "econo-low-limit" on this listserv will yield five results.  In
four of these, "econo-low-limit" is simply listed as an input, in the fifth,
it is suggested as a way of manipulating the model.  However, I cannot find
anywhere on this listserv where the warning "econo-low-limit" = unused has
been discussed.  Therefore, I assume it's a reasonable to post and and I
hope it will be helpful to future users.

I can't figure out where to specify an econo-low-limit in the DD wizard, if
I need to go into the detailed edit to address this, please let me know
where that variable is edited.  I have attempted to edit the files manually
in notepad to specify an econo-low-limit, so far have had no luck, but
truthfully I'm not too experienced with manual edits.  If anyone could
provide some assistance with where to edit this parameter, it would be
appreciated.  Alternatively, if this warning does not have detrimental
impact on the outputs, I will just ignore it.

Thanks for your thoughts and comments.
