How to use SWMM 5 DOS to make an Output Table in the RPT file

Subject:   How to use SWMM 5 DOS to make an Output Table in the RPT file

You can make tables of the node,  link  and  Subcatchment output data in SWMM 5 if you use the DOS SWMM 5 program but not the Windows DLL.   Step 1 is to create the DOS batch file, Step 2 is to select the nodes, links and subcatchments, Step 3 is to run the batch file and Step 4 is to view the RPT tables or extract the data to Excel.  You can do this directly in the InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM graphical user interfaces by using Run Manager, Step 5 to select the nodes, links and subcatchments and Step 6 to view the tables in the browser.

Step 1.   Make a Batch File to call the DOS SWMM 5

swmm5.exe Example1.inp  D:\swmm5.0.022\bob.rpt
pause

Step 2.  Add the nodes,  links and  subcatchments tables you want to generate in the RPT file

[REPORT]
CONTROLS         NO
LINKS                 ALL
NODES               ALL
SUBCATCHMENTS ALL

Step 3.  Run the Batch file

Step 4.  Extract the Tables from the RPT File of SWMM 5

Step 5.  InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM dialog for selecting nodes, links and subcatchments for generating a detailed RPT file table.

Step 6.  Sample InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM RPT Tables if Report Options is used.

InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM are different graphical  user interfaces with similar  tools to the current  version of SWMM 5.  They both use a C++ engine built around the C code engine of SWMM 5.  Most of these blogs apply to SWMM 5, InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM.
