Ventana software support forum

Hello,
How do I set my model to run in months using the old version 5.5 DSS? I mean, I would like to display for instance from Jan-2005 to Dec-2016 instead of from 0 to 143. As you can see in the attached file I don't have the option to tick "As date" at the Control panel nor the "Format" date at "Time Bounds" tab.
Thanks.

Can you please enter your DSS serial number on your profile.

Yes, I can send you my Serial Number. However, I got this error while trying to update.

Please email it to vensim@vensim.com and I'll update your profile.

Done

Click the menu item Model->Settings, from there you can adjust the time units.

I already have done it as you can see in the attached file I have sent previously. The model is running in months but what should do to show YYYY-MM (or some format close to this) on the graphs instead numbers set on the INITIAL and FINAL TIME field?

I think that wasn't supported back then.

Ahh, so you don't want the model to run in months, but display months on the graphs?

I don't think you can do it in your version of Vensim (it's too old).

Ok, thanks. Maybe I should try to open and change in a PLE and then back to my original version? The problem is that I'm using subscripts that is not supported by PLE.
Any other suggestion?

No other suggestions.

If time bases are in your version, you could try one of those.

PLE won't help. The problem is not that you can't adjust the setting; it's that the feature doesn't exist at all in your version.
