Michael,
Each of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th values for equipment schedules has a different DOE-2 default value based on the entry for the previous schedule. For example, default for the second schedule is, ?if(#RV(#L("EQUIP-SCHEDULE",0))!=0) then unused else no_def endif?.
You can change the defaults for each of these manually in the eQUEST user interface in their respective input fields or you can combine them all into a single expression in an input file. Expanding on your example below, copy the following into a text file and do a ?File -> Import File?? of the text file. Note that each value is separated by a comma, and you can use ?&D? (without the quotation marks, and without brackets) for any interim value if you want to use the DOE-2 default.
Regards,
~Bill
