In 1. it is only loading the string as an IDF Object, like it would load from an IDF file.

It's loading the following Output:Variable

Output:Variable,
     *,                                                                                                  !- Key Value
     Zone Mechanical Ventilation Current Density Volume Flow Rate,    !- Variable Name
     Hourly;                                                                                         !- Reporting timestep

This just means it'll apply to all objects

You can have all keys listed in the standard output file by putting a “*” in this field or you can have specific items listed by putting in a key value. If this field is left blank, it will use a * as the default (i.e., you will get all variables of Variable Name).
