Multi-Runs and Format Statements in P61001.DAT
If you have procedures P60301.DAT and P61001.DAT in any of your Multi-Runs, we strongly recommend that you check their output (P60301.DAT) and input (P61001.DAT) format statements. Prior to the 2005 Update, the output format in the procedure used to export model items to ASCII (P60301.DAT, which runs program M603V1) was changed to allow 10 spaces for each item. This means that if you were to export all of the 20 available items, the output will exceed the 200 free field column width. Subsequent programs used to load this data to a model, such as P61001.DAT (which runs M610v2), will require a format statement in

order to run properly. If you have Multi-Runs that contain either of these procedures, you should check them to make sure the format statements are correct and data is being properly loaded.
