ADAT and MDAT in FileA about dssat-csm-os HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi @palderman

I checked the subroutines in the model and the column names based on the source code.

If the FileA has ADAT and MDAT, the subroutine (usually OPHARV.for) will associate the name of the column with what has hard-coded.

Please see the subroutine MZ_OPHARV for Maize:

`!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACOUNT = 22 !Number of FILEA headings.
! Headings in FILEA for Measured data
DATA OLAB /
& 'ADAT ', !1 DFLR
& 'PD1T ', !2 IFPD
& 'PDFT ', !3 IFSD
& 'MDAT ', !4 DMAT
& 'HWAM ', !5 XGWT
& 'PWAM ', !6 XPDW
& 'H#AM ', !7 XNOGR
& 'HWUM ', !8 XGWU
& 'H#UM ', !9 XNOGU
& 'CWAM ', !10 XCWT

! & 'BWAH', !11 XSWT
& 'BWAM ', !11 XSWT

 &    'LAIX  ',     !12 XLAM 
 &    'HIAM  ',     !13 XHIN 
 &    'THAM  ',     !14 XTHR 
 &    'GNAM  ',     !15 XNGR 
 &    'CNAM  ',     !16 XNTP 
 &    'SNAM  ',     !17 XNST 
 &    'GN%M  ',     !18 XNPS 
 &    'CWAA  ',     !19 XCWAA
 &    'CNAA  ',     !20 XCNAA
 &    'L#SM  ',     !21 XLFNO
 &    'EDAT  ',     !22 Emergence date
 &    18*'      '/  

`
These lines of code show the hard-coded structure used to associate the column names in the FileX with the output file.

Conclusion is that there is no error or mislabeled columns. The variables match what is inside the Fortran code.

Also, confirming what Dr. Hoogenboom mentioned : "Yes, that's correct. Currently FileA is read by the model only and there are smarts to associate the Year with the DOY value."

Thank you so much,
