How to get the damper positions for the outdoor air in packaged rooftop unit ?

I have been trying to model the medium office building in Energyplus and I have added an Packaged rooftop unit for a VAV system with Reheat. I want to know the damper position in the packaged rooftop unit for outdoor air and return air. I have been using this

Output:Variable,*,Air System Outdoor Air Flow Fraction,Timestep;

for getting the system outdoor air flow fraction. But I don't think this represents the damper position ( Does it represent damper position ?) . I am not interested in knowing the zone level damper position but only want to know the outdoor and return damper positions.
