B. LDL Input InstructionsThis section contains descriptions of all LDL input instructions that arerequired to run the LOADS. program. The order of presentation follows thehierarchy described in the last section of Chap. II, BDL.1. INPUT (Alternative Forms)As discussed in Chap. II, Sec. B, the input data for each of the mainprograms must begin with an INPUT Program-Name instruction.INPUT LOADS ..This instruction informs the LDL processor that LOADS program input dataf 011 ow.For the LOADS program only, an alternative form of the INPUT instructionexists that is used not to run the LOADS program itself but as a preprocessorto build a user-specified library of MATERIALs, LAYERS, and CONSTRUCTIONs.Normally, the DOE-2 Library will already contain all the MATERIALs, LAYERS,and CONSTRUCTIONs that a user will need, however, if the user wishes to addothers, he should use theLIBRARY-INPUT LOADSinstruction. More information on creating a library or adding to the existingDOE-2 Library can be found in Sec. C of this chapter. For conductingparametric studies, the user should specify theinstruction.2. RUN-PERIODPARAMETRIC-INPUT LOADSThe RUN-PERIOD instruction is used to specify the initial and final datesof the desired simulation period. The form of the instruction isU-nameCommand Initial Date Final Date TerminatorRUN-PERIOD month day year THRU month day year. .month day year THRU month day yearmonth day year THRU month day yearU-nameRUN-PERIODis not a 11 owed.This command tells LOADS that the data to follow specifyinitial and final dates of a desired simulation period.III.21 (Revised 5/81)
