List of fortran variables for DOE2 input functions?

The help file for DOE-2.3 gives some examples of Input Functions (distinct from keyword expressions and input macros). Refer to DOE-2.3 Help Volume 3 > Building Description Language > Input Functions. The examples reference what appear to be Fortran variable names:

Excerpt from HVAC Example 1

ASSIGN
    IHR                = IHR
    IDAY               = IDAY
    IMO                = IMO
    INILZE             = INILZE
    NWRMUP             = NWRMUP 
    ..

Also, the help mentions "LOADS and HVAC Global Variables Listings ... are available as the text files LOADS-VARS.TXT and HVAC-VARS.TXT, which are part of the program release." But such files I could find neither in eQUEST installation nor in command line DOE-2.3 download.

So the question is, where to find listings of Fortran variables for DOE-2.3? Do I need to refer to the release of command DOE-2.1, or to the engineering manual and supplement, or just request and dig through the source code release of DOE-2.3?
