Converting imf files[LINK]

The transition/conversion programs can “automatically” transition imf (ep-macro) files. One note of caution: if your macro file contains #if statements in the form:

PEOPLE,
  ZONE ONE,                !- Zone Name
  **\#\#if \#[DoSizing[] EQSU Y]**
  \#[FAREA[] / OCCDENPEAK[]],        !- Number of People
  **\#\#else**
  \#[FAREA[] / OCCDENAVG[]],         !- Number of People
  **\#\#endif   **
  OCCSCHED[],       !- Number of People SCHEDULE Name (real--fraction)
  0.5000000,        !- Fraction Radiant
  Activity Sch;     !- Activity level SCHEDULE Name (units W/person, real)

They should look like this:

**\#\#if \#[DoSizing[] EQSU Y]**
  PEOPLE,
  ZONE ONE,                !- Zone Name
  \#[FAREA[] / OCCDENPEAK[]],       !- Number of People
  OCCSCHED[],       !-   Number of People SCHEDULE Name (real--fraction)
  0.5000000,        !- Fraction Radiant
  Activity Sch;     !- Activity level SCHEDULE Name (units W/person, real)
  **\#\#else**
  PEOPLE,
  ZONE ONE,                !- Zone Name
  \#[FAREA[] / OCCDENAVG[]],        !- Number of People
  OCCSCHED[],       !- Number of People SCHEDULE Name (real--fraction)
  0.5000000,        !- Fraction Radiant
  Activity Sch;     !- Activity level SCHEDULE Name (units W/person, real)
  **\#\#endif   **
