Report variables (solar radiation related) missing from the IDF file

When adding output variables to my results I received a following error statement in the .err file:

"* Warning * The following Report Variables were requested but not generated because IDF did not contain these elements or misspelled variable name -- check .rdd file

*** Key=*, VarName=DIRECT SOLAR RADIATION RATE PER AREA, Frequency=Hourly

*** Key=*, VarName=DIFFUSE SOLAR RADIATION RATE PER AREA, Frequency=Hourly"

The data are needed to verify the proper use and calculation of the direct normal radiation in the modified .epw file (using a local weather station data).
