Manipulatin String variables via Setval in VEnApps

Hey Everybody, I have a VenApp, where you can save data via .cin files, which may include strings. The problem now is that i would like to reset the string upon loading a file which doesn't have a value for the string included. Unlike the numerical value it doesn't reset the string. I wanted to rese...

Exporting the option "Use european number format"

Hey Everybody I am working with .vpa's to distribute models to clients who only have the Application Runtime. My clients highly prefer the european number format (switch dots and commas), i can easily change this option in Vensim, but how can i change it for my clients aswell. The Application Runtim...

Hey Bob,
That's what i thought, tankx. Btw: I still get quite a lot of crahes with the 5.5a, e.g. sometimes when u change the model and don't simulate it itself, the whole DSS will crash if u try to run the VenApp. Just as an input for 5.5b

difference between command list and opening commands in Vena

Hey Everybody,
I got a new qestion. Where lies the difference if i put a command in the opening commands or in the command list in VenApp? Is it just the calculation order or is there a further difference?

Dear Bob,
The problem is/ was that i am running SyntheSim mode, i checked the finance file, there it works out fine as u said, so I#ll probably just switch to normal simulation or do u see any option to achieve the same for SyntheSim? And we are running 5.5 meanwhile;)

Hey everybody, I have a small problem, i am working with a VenApp platform right now and the users of this VenApp tend to use the provided slidebars not by sliding but by entering values, now VenApp seems to ignore this way of putting values unless the slider is being clicked on. Is there some way i...

Dear Bob,
I did as u said and it still doesn't work. I want the VenApp to be readable only with Runtime or Application Runtime. Still, the Application Runtime tells me that it is not able to open the .vpa file. As this is quite urgent, who would be the contact to call for that problem?

Data exchange with Vensim via Java

Hey Everybody, In the DSS section, some classes for accessing VensimModels are provided. I fooled around with them a little bit, but couldn't really get access. Maybe the problem lies in reading the dll. But to make sure, did anybody program such a connection and has a small example file of a connec...

replay should also be possible with the normal vensim structure as long as the run is saved somewhere, which it should be. variable game time should neither be a problem i think as the game is in the architecture we are now running restarted every period. so each player makes his decisions, ends his...
