Hi again,

I am still battling with getting HEC-HMS results data out of a dss file. Using DSSUTL and the WR option does work, sometimes. By opening the dss file in DSSVue it appears as if only some of the records can be read, and some of the results are not listed. If I delete some of the results that I am not interested in, such as ET-SOIL, ET-POTENTIAL for the catchments, eventually the record I am interested in appears in DSSVue. If I try using WR in DSSUTL before the delete, it does not find the requested record. If I run the same commands after the delete, it works. The model I am working with has 19 catchments, 9 junctions, 9 reaches and a sink, running for 9 months on a daily time interval. The only data in the DSS file is the daily rainfall and 1 daily streamflow gauge.

I am trying to link the model to an optimization algorithm, so I need a reliable, scripted way to run HEC-HMS and interpret the results. If anyone has had any success reliably getting data of of a DSS file containing HEC-HMS results (version 3.1 or 3.2) without a GUI, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks, Matt
