New date formatting in "RUNPERIOD" section of idf file? fileupdate does not deal with this
I have a v8.7 idf file the RUNPERIOD section looks like this:
!- =========== ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: RUNPERIOD ===========
RunPeriod,
, !- Name
1, !- Begin Month
1, !- Begin Day of Month
12, !- End Month
31, !- End Day of Month
MONDAY, !- Day of Week for Start Day
No, !- Use Weather File Holidays and Special Days
No, !- Use Weather File Daylight Saving Period
No, !- Apply Weekend Holiday Rule
Yes, !- Use Weather File Rain Indicators
Yes, !- Use Weather File Snow Indicators
1.0000; !- Number of Times Runperiod to be Repeated
When I run fileconvert to upgrade to v9.0 this is what happens:
!- =========== ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: RUNPERIOD ===========
RunPeriod,
, !- Name
1, !- Begin Month
1, !- Begin Day of Month
12, !- Begin Year
31, !- End Month
31, !- End Day of Month
, !- End Year
MONDAY, !- Day of Week for Start Day
No, !- Use Weather File Holidays and Special Days
No, !- Use Weather File Daylight Saving Period
No, !- Apply Weekend Holiday Rule
Yes, !- Use Weather File Rain Indicators
Yes, !- Use Weather File Snow Indicators
; !- Treat Weather as Actual
When I create a new file in E+ 9.01 RUNPERIOD looks like this (NOTE: I had to put in the 2019 date):
!- =========== ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: RUNPERIOD ===========
RunPeriod,
1, !- Name
1, !- Begin Month
1, !- Begin Day of Month
2019, !- Begin Year
12, !- End Month
31, !- End Day of Month
2019, !- End Year
Monday, !- Day of Week for Start Day
Yes, !- Use Weather File Holidays and Special Days
Yes, !- Use Weather File Daylight Saving Period
No, !- Apply Weekend Holiday Rule
Yes, !- Use Weather File Rain Indicators
Yes, !- Use Weather File Snow Indicators
No; !- Treat Weather as Actual
There seems to be a fileupdate error?
