Two HVAC system definition problems

eQuesters and DOE2-2ers,

I have two problems concerning the code below, from my .inp file as
processed by eQuest into a BDL file:

1. Per my e-mail yesterday, I am trying to figure out how to make line
3275 do hot-gas reheat. Any ideas? Apparently, the only gas that DOE2-2
recognizes is combustible natural gas - not what I intend here.

2. What is the problem with line 3278? According to text page 361 (PDF
page 368) of the DOE22Vol2-Dictionary.pdf, this line is permissible and
meaningful. What I am trying to do is simply tell eQuest that HVAC has a
constant 216 CFM of OA. Since DOE2-2 won't allow such a simple thing, I'm
trying to define it instead as 10.29% of the 2100 CFM that this PSZ delivers
to the single zone that it serves. Any ideas?

I'm tired of reverse-engineering the whole world just to tell eQuest
simple little things. However, if I do things in eQuest proper instead of
in the .inp file, then I have no idea what variables trump other variables,
or even how to conjure all of the mysterious data that eQuest shows/asks
for.

Thanks, everyone, for accepting my daily quiz.
