Thanks Dariogab,

I have used DSSUTL successfully on the sample.dss that came with DSSVue like this:

EV DATA=1 (Use the first record)
EF [DATE] [TIME] [DATA] (output format)
EX OUT.TXT (output to file)

but when I try to do the first line with the dss files produced from 2 different HECHMS models I get the error:

Error: Only Time Series data may be Exported.
Type identified: RTD

But if I open a table of the record in DSSVue it says the data is of type INST-VAL, the same as the data output from sample.dss

I get a similar error from the Excel Tool, I can get it to work fine for sample.dss, but for the two dss files with HECHMS results I get the error:
HECDSS does not recognize a valid data type for this pathname.
Please check the pathname conventions outline in the HECDSS User's manual.

The pathname itself seems to be fine:
//OUTLET_AMER/FLOW/18JUN2007/5MIN/RUN:RUN 1/

I have tried it with an A Part and without spaces, but with no luck.

If I look in the Visual Basic code where the error occurs, it says the data are of type UND.

Any ideas that could be suggested would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
