About PRO/II
PRO/II is a comprehensive computer simulation system for process
engineers in the chemical, petroleum, natural gas, solids processing,
and polymer industries. It combines the data resources of a large
chemical component library and extensive thermodynamic property
prediction methods with the most advanced and flexible unit
operations techniques. It provides the process engineer with the
computational facilities to perform all mass and energy balance
calculations needed to model most steady-state processes.
The PRO/II process simulation program is designed with both the
beginner and the expert in mind. It is based on a foundation of
comprehensive, reliable, and accurate simulation capabilities. It is
easy to use, and the input language is an extension of the universal
language of chemical engineering. Expert systems, extensive input
processing and error checking allow even an inexperienced user to
be instantly productive. These features have made PRO/II an
industry standard.
The PRO/II Data Transfer System (PDTS) is a post-processing util-
ity that enables you to electronically access a wide range of flow-
sheet data from any completed PRO/II simulation. The data

Chapter 1
PDTS Introduction
This chapter introduces the PDTS utility for PRO/II. In this chapter
you will:
■ Determine what PRO/II files you need when using PDTS.
■ Learn the Class, Attribute, and Item concept underlying the
PDTS utility.
■ Find out how to handle units of measure (UOM).
■ Learn how to handle simulations with multiple case studies.
What is PDTS?
The PRO/II Data Transfer System (PDTS) is a post-processing util-
ity that provides electronic access to a wide range of flowsheet data
from any completed PRO/II simulation. The data retrieved may then
be used in any other application. This manual describes how to use
this tool effectively.
Program Limits
Although a PRO/II simulation has no explicit limits on the size of
its parameters, PDTS is constrained due to the nature of the retrieval
process which uses the FORTRAN language. The standard limits
for this release are listed in Table 1-1. If the PRO/II simulation
exceeds any of these limits, a warning will be sent to the standard
output and execution will terminate. If your requirements exceed
these limits, contact your SIMSCI representative to request an
enlarged version of PDTS.
PRO/II Data Transfer System Users’ Guide 1-1

Table 1-1: Limits of Standard PDTS
Category Limit (max)
Components 300
Streams 984
Unit operations 500
Trays in a column or LLEX 500
Feed streams to a column 20
Product draws from a column 10
Separate curves in any HCURVE unit 50
Points in any individual HCURVE 100
Separate curves in any Phase Envelope 20
Points in any Phase Envelope curve* 120
* This limit cannot be extended by using an enlarged version of PDTS.
PRO/II Results Files

In normal use, the results of a PRO/II simulation are either sent to
an output file or viewed through the PRO/II user interface. You may
wish to capture these results in a form that can be used to interface
with other programs such as spreadsheets, costing and sizing pro-
grams, customized reports, and so on.
PRO/II generates three temporary database files that contain all
PRO/II input and calculation results. On most operating systems,
these files have the extensions .PRO1, .PRO2, and .PRO3; on the PC,
the file extensions are .PR1, .PR2, and .PR3. When PRO/II is exe-
cuted from a keyword file in batch mode, these database files are
normally deleted after the output report is generated.
By default, PRO/II saves the temporary .PR1, .PR2, and .PR3 data-
base files in the form of a zipped permanent .PRZ file unless you
specify otherwise. PDTS cannot read a .PRZ file. Therefore you
must either use PKUNZIP.EXE to unzip the .PRZ file or use the Save
as .PR1 option in PRO/II.
For PRO/II runs, it is not necessary to generate an output report for
complete PDTS data access. If the flowsheet has solved, you may
alternatively select Output/Perform Output Calculations and save
the flowsheet. This will perform all the necessary additional calcu-
lations needed for PDTS applications.
1-2 PDTS Introduction

To retain the database files:
➤ Change the TITLE statement in the PRO/II keyword input file by
adding the keyword NEWFILE= as illustrated below:
TITLE ..... , NEWFILE=xxxx, CASEID=yyyy
where:
xxxx = Primary file name
yyyy = Case ID name
Note: The Case ID name is optional if the PRO/II simulation has

only a base case. (The default Case ID name is BASECASE.) If the
simulation entails multiple cases, the Case ID is required.
The changes to the keyword file described above are identical to
those used in case study and restart operations.
Note: Refer to the PRO/II Keyword Manual, Chapters 14.1 and

14.2, for further information on restart and case study options.
Generating the PDTS Application

The PDTS application is a new independent program written by the
user in FORTRAN. Input to this new program are the PRO/II data-
base files discussed above. The application will call the PDTS sub-
routines to access the specific simulation results desired and can
then write out information in whatever format is required. Access to
specific simulation results is based on a “Class, Attribute and Item”
scheme.
Data Retrieval using Class, Attribute and Item

The Class, Attribute and Item data retrieval scheme is a greatly
improved method of accessing the PRO/II simulation results. In the
past, the user had to be familiar with dozens of separate subroutines
to retrieve data. That concept has been dramatically simplified. The
user need call one of only three subroutines to retrieve the data
required depending on the data type. The subroutine PADATR
retrieves floating point data, PADATI retrieves integer data, and
PADATC retrieves character data.
To specify the PRO/II data, the user will refer to the data as an
Attribute belonging to a particular Class and for a specified Item.
The data will then be returned to a data buffer. Class and Attribute
lists can be found in Chapter 5. The Item is the ID of the stream or

unit. The attribute ALL is used in retrieving component data and lists
of available unit and stream IDs.
The concept can be illustrated in the following example in which
one obtains the actual calculated work required for compressor unit,
C-1. In this case, the Class of data requested is ‘Compressor’. The
Attribute is ‘WorkActualCalc’, and the Item is the unit ID ‘C-1’. The
Class and Attribute names are obtained from Chapter 5, where the
work is described as a floating point scalar value. To retrieve the
floating point result and store it as variable WCALC, the user would
call subroutine PADATR in the following manner:
CALL PADATR(‘Compressor’,‘WorkActualCalc’,‘C-1’,*
WCALC,KC,KU,IU,IERR)
Note: In the above subroutine call, the Class, Attribute and Item
are supplied as character strings (i.e., enclosed in single quotes).
Class and Attribute strings are case sensitive. It is essential that
these strings be entered exactly as given in Chapter 5.
The fourth argument in the call above is the return Variable for the
Attribute. In the example above, data are returned in WCALC. Since
Attributes are either scalar or vectors, it is the user’s responsibility
to provide a return Variable sufficiently sized to hold the returned
value.
Note: For the subroutines PADATR, PADATI, and PADATC, the first
four arguments are identical: Class, Attribute, Item and the return
Variable.
The last four arguments in the subroutine above are integer argu-
ments KC, KU, IU, and IERR. In the order shown above, these argu-
ments are used to:
■ Determine the number of items returned.
■ Specify the Unit of Measure Group.
■ Return the Unit of Measure Class.
■ Test whether an error occurred.
All subroutine and function calls are described in detail in
Chapter 3, PDTS Subroutines and Functions.

Specifying Units of Measure (UOM) of the Retrieved Data
In past versions of PDTS, you could not control the UOM of the
returned data items. The current version of PDTS offers limited
UOM control. You can return data in the input units specified for
the simulation in the keyword input on the DIMENSION statement or
one of seven different UOM groups given in Table 1-2.
Table 1-2: Unit of Measure Groups for KU
Value for KU Description
0 Default input units as specified on the DIMENSION
statement
1 SIMSCI Internal Units (SI)
2 Standard English Units (Table 4.1, PRO/II Keyword
Manual)
3 Standard Metric Units (Table 4.1, PRO/II Keyword
Manual)
4 Standard SI Units (Table 4.1, PRO/II Keyword Manual)
5 Input units (the default)
6 Primary output units as specified on the OUTDIME
statement
7 Alternative output units as specified on the OUTDIME
statement with keyword ADD
Example:
KU = 0
CALL PADATR(‘Compressor’,‘WorkActualCalc’,‘C-1’,WCALC,KC,*
KU,IU,IERR)
The UOM group is illustrated in the compressor example above, as

the variable KU in the call to routine PADATR. In this example, by
setting the value of KU equal to zero, you specify that variable
WCALC will contain the actual work in user input units correspond-
ing to the DIMENSION statement in the original PRO/II keyword
input file.
Returning the UOM of the Retrieved Data

In the example given above, variable IU will contain a UOM class
flag for the retrieved data. This class flag can then be passed to the
character function PAUOMS and used to print a string with the cor-
rect UOM as shown below.

Example:
CHARACTER*30 CBUF, PAUOMS
.
.
.
KU = 0
CALL PADATR(‘Flash’,‘DutyCalc’,‘F-1’,QCALC,KC,
KU,IU,IERR)
CBUF = PAUOMS(IU, KU, IERR)
.
.
WRITE (NF,1001) QCALC, CBUF
1001 FORMAT(‘The Duty of Flash F-1 = ’, F10.4, A30)
In the example, variable CBUF contains a character stream with the

default input duty units. Thus, if the PRO/II flowsheet uses
BTU/H for duty units, and the results yield a duty of 5.0 for unit F-1,
the output of this PDTS application would read:
The Duty of Flash F-1 = 5.0000 MMBTU/HR
Handling Simulations with Multiple Cases

If the Case Study option has been used in the PRO/II simulation,
data will be stored in the database files under separate Case IDs. It
is possible to set up individual cases and retrieve selected data for
each case using the following subroutines that are described in
detail in Chapter 3:
■ Subroutine PACASL will retrieve an array of 8-character strings
corresponding to the CASE IDs.
■ Subroutine PACASE will set up an individual case.
Note: These routines are not required if the BASECASE is the only
case of interest.

Chapter 2
Build Procedures for PDTS
A PDTS program is a Fortran program that calls PDTS functions to

retrieve results from a PRO/II run. The PDTS program must be
compiled and linked using one of the following two compilers:
■ Compaq Visual Fortran (version 6.1 through 6.6b)
■ Intel Visual Fortran version 8.0 for Windows (Standard or Pro-
fessional Edition)
The build procedures outlined in this chapter assume that you are
familiar with the specific compiler being used.
Build Procedure for PRO/II PDTS

You can compile and link your PDTS program using Compaq
Visual Fortran (version 6.1 through 6.6b) or Intel Visual Fortran
version 8.0 for Windows (Standard or Professional Edition). PDTS
programs built with these compilers can run under Windows NT,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP at the command prompt. (Note:
Intel Visual Fortran 8.0 is not supported on Windows 98/ME for
application development; however, applications created by Intel
Fortran 8.0 will run on these platforms.)
In the sample build procedure outlined below, we will run the sam-
ple problem EXAM1.INP, compile and link the sample PDTS pro-
gram EXAM1.FOR, and then run the PDTS executable file to
generate a custom output report.

Note: These instructions assume that you have installed PRO/II
PDTS in the default directory structure, C:\SIMSCI\PROII80.
Modify the paths indicated in the example if you have installed
the program in a directory structure other than the default.
Using PDTS with PRO/II

To use the PDTS utility with PRO/II:
➤ Run a flowsheet problem successfully to generate the necessary
database files.
➤ Compile, link, and run your PDTS program.
Generating PRO/II Database Files

To locate and run the EXAM1.INP input file:
➤ Run PRO/II.
➤ Import the EXAM1.INP file, located in the
C:\SIMSCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAMPLES directory.
➤ Save the simulation as a .PR1 file. (By default, PRO/II saves

simulations as .PRZ files.)
PRO/II runs the problem EXAM1 and generates database files
EXAM1.PR1, EXAM1.PR2, and EXAM1.PR3 (by default, located in
C:\SIMSCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAMPLES).
➤ Compile and link EXAM1.FOR to create the PDTS program.
Building a PDTS Executable File Using Compaq Fortran 6.x

If you are using Compaq Visual Fortran 6.x, we strongly recom-
mend that you take advantage of the free upgrades available from
HP/Compaq to bring your complier up to 6.6b. Compaq Visual
Fortran patches are available at
http://h18009.www1.hp.com/fortran/visual/updates.html.
Depending on the options selected when you installed Compaq
Visual Fortran 6.6b, you may not have oldnames.lib installed on
your computer. This library is required to build PDTS applications
and is located on the Compaq Visual Fortran CD in the \X86\SUP-
PORT\LIB directory. If you do not have this library, copy it into
2-2 Build Procedures for PDTS

your Compaq Visual Fortran library directory before building
PDTS applications.
To build a PDTS executable file using Compaq Visual Fortran:
➤ Start Compaq Visual Fortran (version 6.1 through 6.6b)..
➤ Select File/Open Workspace from the menu bar.
➤ Select the file \SIMSCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAM-
PLES\VF6\EXAM1.DSW and click OK.
Note: All sample files are located in \SIM-

SCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAMPLES. The Compaq
Fortran 6.x workspace files are located in
\SIMSCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAMPLES\VF6.
➤ Locate the PRO/II error and support files, PROII.ERR and
PROII.SP1. By default, they should be in
C:\SIMSCI\PROII80\SYSTEM. However, they may be in a dif-
ferent directory if you modified the PRO/II directory structure
during installation.
Note: If PROII.ERR and PROII.SP1 are in a directory other than

the one specified above, you must edit the directory path in
EXAM1.FOR as shown below.
To edit the EXAM1.FOR file:
➤ Select View/Workspace from the menu bar.
➤ Select the File View tab in the workspace window.
➤ Expand the EXAM1 files node in the workspace window tree.
➤ Expand the Source Files node in the workspace window tree.
➤ Double-click on EXAM1.FOR to open the file for editing.
➤ Search for the string PAOPEN in the file EXAM1.FOR.
Replace SIMSCI\PROII80\SYSTEM\ in the argument list of
the function call PAOPEN with the correct directory path to the
files PROII.ERR and PROII.SP1, for example, D:\SIMSCI\
PROII80\SYSTEM\.
Note: See Chapter 3 for function call PAOPEN arguments.

➤ Save your changes to EXAM1.FOR.
Now, you can build the new executable file:

➤ Select the Build EXAM1.EXE option from the Build menu.
The PDTS program EXAM1.EXE will be built in the directory
\SIMSCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAMPLES. This program can
be run under Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP at the
command prompt.
You can now run the program either from the command line or from
within Compaq Fortran.
To run from within Compaq Fortran:
➤ Select Execute EXAM1.EXE from the File menu.
You will be prompted for the name of the database files.
➤ Type EXAM1. The EXAM1.EXE file extracts data from a train of
compressors and generates an output report (in EXAM1.PDS).
Note: If the EXAM1.PR* database files are located in the direc-

tory directly above the directory containing the make file, type
..\EXAM1 instead.
➤ Compare the results in EXAM1.PDS with the test results in the

file EXAM1.CKP (these will be in the same directory as your
EXAM1.PR* files). If your PDTS example ran successfully, there
should be no difference between the files.
Building a PDTS Executable File Using Intel Visual Fortran 8.0

If you are using Intel Visual Fortran 8.0, source code modifications
are required for interoperation with Compaq Fortran 6.x.
To build a PDTS executable file using Intel Visual Fortran:
➤ Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
➤ Select File/Open Solution from the menu bar.
➤ Select the file \SIMSCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAM-
PLES\IF8\EXAM1.sln and click OK.

SCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAMPLES. The Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET solution files (which are used to build
the Intel Fortran 8.0 applications) are located in
\SIMSCI\PROII80\USER\PDTS\EXAMPLES\IF8.
➤ Locate the PRO/II error and support files, PROII.ERR
and PROII.SP1. By default, they should be in

C:\SIMSCI\PROII80\SYSTEM. However, they may be in a dif-
ferent directory if you modified the PRO/II directory structure
during installation..
Note: If PROII.ERR and PROII.SP1 are in a directory other

than the one specified above, you must edit the directory path
in EXAM1_IF8.FOR as shown below.
Note: EXAM1_IF8.FOR is a modified version of

EXAM1.FOR to allow PDTS applications compiled with Intel
Fortran 8.0 the ability to write output to the standard output
files provided by PRO/II 8.0 PDTS.
To edit the EXAM1_IF8.FOR file:

➤ Select View/Solution Explorer from the menu bar.
➤ Expand the EXAM1 node in the solution explorer tree.
➤ Expand the Source Files node in the solution explorer tree.
➤ Double-click on EXAM1_IF8.FOR to open the file for editing.

Chapter 3
PDTS Subroutines and Functions
This chapter describes the ten user-callable subroutines of the

PRO/II Data Transfer System shown in Table 3-1. This chapter:
■ Describes what each PDTS subroutine can do.
■ Explains the argument list for each subroutine.
■ Illustrates each subroutine through a brief sample problem.
Table 3-1: Standard PDTS Subroutines
Routine Purpose
PAOPEN Opens the database files (required)
PACASL Lists available case IDs
PACASE Sets up an individual case (required for Case Study)
PAMISC Retrieves miscellaneous flowsheet parameters (required)
PADATR Retrieves single precision floating point data
PADATI Retrieves integer data
PADATC Retrieves character type data
PAUOMS Retrieves unit of measure string
PAWRITE Writes a line of character data to the standard output file
provided by PRO/II PDTS.
PACLOS Closes database files (required)
FIGETU Returns unique Fortran file unit number

Opening Database Files
SUBROUTINE PAOPEN(NAME, SPATH, NFOUT, IRCODE)
Purpose:
To open PRO/II database files for access and to create a user-acces-
sible output file.
Note: This routine must be called before any other PDTS routine
in this system.
Arguments:
NAME Character string corresponding to the primary file
name (name) on the TITLE statement specified by
the keyword NEWFILE=name. The PRO/II database
files name.PR1, etc. must be in the current directory
when the application is executed.
SPATH Character string consisting of path to error and
support files. If these files were installed in default
location on the (same disk drive as the PDTS
application was run from), then user may enter a
blank string - ' ' ('<space>') for this argument
NFOUT The Fortran output file unit number for the default
PDTS output file. The default file name will be
name.PDS.
IRCODE Return code (non-zero indicates error
condition).
Example:
CHARACTER*8 NAME
.
.
1001 FORMAT(‘Enter File Name ’)
1002 FORMAT(A)
1003 FORMAT(‘Data Retrieved Reported for File = ’,A10)
WRITE(*, 1001)
READ(*, 1002) NAME
.
CALL PAOPEN (NAME, ‘ ’, NFOUT, IRCODE)
WRITE (NFOUT, 1003) NAME
In the above example, you are prompted to supply, through the stan-
dard input, the file name for database retrieval. Subsequent output is
written to Fortran unit NFOUT. System support and error files are
assumed in their default location. On the PC the default is the direc-
tory: \SIMSCI\PROII_W\SYSTEM\. On UNIX systems the default is
the directory: /usr/local/lib/simsci/ssilib/.
3-2 PDTS Subroutines and Functions

If you have installed the PRO/II error and support files on the C:
drive but are executing the PDTS application on the D: drive, then
the full path to the PRO/II error and support files must be entered as
the SPATH argument. In the above example, the subroutine call will
be changed to read:
CALL PAOPEN (NAME, ‘C:\PSIMSCI\PROII_W\SYSTEM\ ’,NFOUT,IRCODE)
Note: Normally PAOPEN is used to open the PRO/II database files

and a single file for output. However, you may wish to open addi-
tional files for input or output. This can be accomplished using the
FIGETU subroutine (see Chapter 7).
Obtaining a List of Case Study IDs

SUBROUTINE PACASL (MXN, KNX, CASEN, IRCODE)
Purpose:
To return an array of CHARACTER*12 strings with the case IDs
which are available in the current PRO/II database files opened by a
previous call to PAOPEN.
Note: This routine is required only when the user wishes to

retrieve data from cases other than BASECASE.
Arguments:
MXN Number of elements in the CASEN array in the

calling routine.
KNX Number of case IDs actually found in file.
CASEN Array of CHARACTER*12 strings containing the
available case IDs.

Setting Up an Individual Case Study

SUBROUTINE PACASE( CASEX, IRCODE)
Purpose:
To set up an individual simulation case.
Note: Subroutine PAOPEN must be called prior to opening the

PRO/II database.
If the desired case ID is not known, you should call subroutine
PACASL to obtain a list of case IDs. If the required case is
BASECASE, a call to this routine is not required.
Arguments:
CASEX Character*12 case ID.

IRCODE Return code (non-zero indicates error condition).

CALL PACASE (CASEX, IRCODE)
Retrieving Miscellaneous Flowsheet Data

SUBROUTINE PAMISC(NCOMP, NSTRM, NUNIT, IRCODE)
Purpose:
To retrieve basic flowsheet parameters and initialize the system.
This subroutine must be called before any call to retrieve other
flowsheet data items. If a case other than BASECASE is to be set up,
then this routine should be called after a call to PACASE. If the flow-
sheet case is not a converged solution, IRCODE will be equal to 1,
and an error message will be displayed to the standard output.
Arguments:
NCOMP Number of components.

NSTRM Number of streams.
NUNIT Number of unit operations.
Example:
1001 FORMAT (‘Number of Components = ’, I5, /,
+ ‘Number of Streams = ’, I5, / ,
+ ‘Number of Unit Ops = ’, I5)
1002 FORMAT(‘ Solution Not Reached !! ’)

Retrieving Flowsheet Data
Floating Point Data
SUBROUTINE PADATR (CLASS, ATTRIB, ITEM, RBUF,
KC, KU, IU,IRCODE)
Purpose:
To retrieve single precision floating point data from the PRO/II
flowsheet described by Class, Attribute and Item to store the
retrieved data in variable RBUF. The retrieved data item may be
either a single number or an array of values.
Arguments:
CLASS Class character string identifying the class of data

requested.
ATTRIB Attribute character string identifying individual data
attribute requested within the class selected.
ITEM Item character string identifying the particular data
item for which data are requested.
RBUF REAL*4 variable sufficiently sized to hold the
retrieved data. Either scalar variable or array
depending on the Attribute requested.
KC Integer count of data items retrieved in RBUF.
KU Integer UOM group flag (0 - 7). Controls conversion
of the data in RBUF. Refer to Table 1-2.
IU Integer UOM class flag. Zero value indicates that
RBUF is dimensionless. This flag may be used to
retrieve a UOM string from function PAUOMS.
Example:
DIMENSION XNBP (MAXNOC)
CHARACTER*20 CTEMP, PAUOMS
.
.
1001 FORMAT (‘Normal Boiling Point - DEG’, A5)
1002 FORMAT (5E15.6)
.
.
KU = 7
CALL PADATR (‘COMP’, ‘NormBoilPt’, ‘ALL’, XNBP, KC, KU,
IU, IER)
CTEMP = PAUOMS ( IU, KU, IRCODE)
WRITE (NFOUT, 1001) CTEMP(1:5)
WRITE (NFOUT, 1002) (XNBP(I), I = 1, KC)

In the above example, the normal boiling points for all components
are retrieved into the array XNBP. By referring to Chapter 5, the
user will find that component data require a Class of ‘COMP’ and
that the Attribute for normal boiling point is ‘NormBoilPt’. The
Attribute is also reported to be an array of values, one for each com-
ponent in the flowsheet case. Therefore, the Item is ‘ALL’. The user
must insure that XNBP is dimensioned large enough to hold all the
data.
The example also illustrates the use of character function PAUOMS
to get a string to be used in printout. By setting the Unit of Measure
group flag to 7 prior to calling PADATR, the user has specified that
the array XNBP will contain the retrieved data in Alternate Output
units as specified on the OUTDIME statement when the PRO/II run
was executed.
Integer Data
SUBROUTINE PADATI (CLASS, ATTRIB, ITEM, IBUF, KC, IRCODE)
Purpose:
To retrieve integer data from the PRO/II flowsheet described by
Class, Attribute and Item and to store the retrieved data in variable
IBUF. The retrieved data item may be either a single number or an
array of values.
Arguments:

requested.
IBUF INTEGER*4 variable sufficiently sized to hold the
retrieved data. Either scalar variable or array
depending on the Attribute requested.
KC Integer count of data items retrieved in IBUF.
condition).
Example:
1001 FORMAT (‘Number of Trays in Column T-1 = ’, I5)
CALL PADATI (‘Colu’,‘NumberOfTrays’,‘T-1’,NTRAY,KC,IER)
WRITE (NFOUT, 1001) NTRAY

In the above example, the number of trays for column ‘T-1’ is
retrieved into variable NTRAY. By referring to Chapter 5, the user
can determine that the Class for column data is ‘Colu’ and that the
Attribute to get the number of trays is ‘NumberOfTrays’. This is a sin-
gle integer value. In this case, the Item requested was the unit with
unit ID ‘T-1’.
Character Data
SUBROUTINE PADATC (CLASS, ATTRIB, ITEM, CBUF, KS, KC,
IRCODE)
Purpose:
To retrieve character type data from the PRO/II flowsheet described
by Class, Attribute and Item and store the retrieved data in variable
CBUF. The retrieved data item may be either a single character
string or an array of strings.
Arguments:

requested.
CBUF Character type variable sufficiently sized to hold the
retrieved data. Either single string or array depending
on the Attribute requested.
KS Size in bytes of each string retrieved.
KC Integer count of the number of data items retrieved in
CBUF.
Example:
CHARACTER*12 UNID (MAXUOP)
.
.
CALL PADATC (‘UNIT’, ‘IDS’, ‘ALL’, UNID, KS, KC, IERR)
In this example, the unit IDs for all unit operations in the flowsheet
are retrieved into the array of character strings UNID. By reference
to Chapter 5, the user has determined that the Class for generic unit
data is ‘UNIT’ and that the Attribute to get the unit IDs is ‘IDS’. This is
an array of character strings with one member of the array for each
unit operation. Therefore, the Item requested was ‘ALL’. Variable KC

will have the number of items retrieved, and KS will be the size of
each individual item in bytes. In this case, KS will equal 12 because
unit and stream IDs are 12 characters in length.
Retrieving Unit of Measure String

The calling sequence is:
CHARACTER*(*) FUNCTION PAUOMS ( IU, KU, IRCODE)
Purpose:
To retrieve a character string description for the units of measure
defined by the flags IU and KU. If the value of IU passed to the func-
tion is zero indicating a dimensionless quantity, PAUOMS will return
a blank string and the IRCODE will be equal to 1. The size of the
string retrieved by PAUOMS will not exceed 30 characters.
Arguments:
IU Unit of measure class flag. This flag should be set by

a previous call to subroutine PADATR. If IU equals
zero, the quantity is dimensionless.
KU Unit of measure group flag.
Example:
CHARACTER*30 PAUOMS, CVEL
1001 FORMAT (‘Maximum Velocity in Pipe = ’, F10.4, A30)
.
KU = 0
.
CALL PADATR (‘Pipe’, ‘CalcMaxVelocity’, ‘P-1’, VMAX, KC,
KU, IU, IERR)
CVEL = PAUOMS (IU, KU, IERR)
WRITE (NFOUT, 1001) VMAX, CVEL
In this example, the user retrieves the maximum velocity in pipe
unit P-1 by a call to PADATR. Upon return from PADATR, the value of
IU will be an integer flag corresponding to velocity units. Because
the user has set KU = 0 before the call to PADATR, the value of VMAX
is in Input units. Thus, function PAUOMS will retrieve a character
string constant with the value of VMAX.
If the velocity units on the DIME statement in the original PRO/II
keyword input file is FT/S and the velocity is 5.0, then the output to
the default output file will read:
MAXIMUM VELOCITY IN PIPE = 5.0000 FT/SEC

Writing Character Output
SUBROUTINE PAWRITE(NFOUT, CHARDATA)
Purpose:
To write a line of character data to the standard output file provided
by PRO/II PDTS.
This subroutine is required only when the PDTS application is com-
piled with Intel Visual Fortran 8.0. For PDTS applications built with
Compaq Fortran 6.x, the WRITE statement can be used directly as
in previous versions.
Arguments:
NFOUT The Fortran output file unit number.For PDTS

applications, this is provided by the subroutine
PAOPEN. For User-Added Unit Operation subroutines,
this is provided by IDATA(6) in the argument list.
Example:
CHARACTER*8 NAME
CHARACTER*133 CHARDATA
.
.
1001 FORMAT(‘Enter File Name ’)
1002 FORMAT(A)
1003 FORMAT(‘Data Retrieved Reported for File = ’,A10)
WRITE(*, 1001)
READ(*, 1002) NAME
.
WRITE (CHARDATA, 103) NAME
PAWRITE (NFOUT, CHARDATA)
In the above example, the PAOPEN subroutine has provided a

Fortran unit number for the output file into the variable NFOUT. If
you are compiling this PDTS application with Intel Fortran 8.0, you
must use PAWRITE to write character output to that file.
Note: Do not use PAWRITE to read/write files that you have

opened yourself (using the Fortran OPEN statement); instead, you
must use the normal Fortran WRITE statement.

Closing Database Files
SUBROUTINE PACLOS( )
Purpose:
This subroutine closes all database files and the default output file
opened by PAOPEN. It is recommended that this routine be called at
the end of your PDTS application.
There are no arguments.

Chapter 4
PDTS Example Problems
This chapter contains three PDTS example problems. In the first,

the PDTS application is used to create a custom output report for
the compressor train in a plant. The second example illustrates the
use of PDTS in retrieving column condenser and reboiler duties. In
the third example, PDTS is used to generate a tray-by-tray report of
column flowrates, densities, temperatures, pressures, and
compositions.
This chapter provides:
■ General procedures needed to build a PDTS program,
■ Step-by-step instructions for writing three complete PDTS
programs.
General Instructions for Running a PDTS Problem

You must first successfully run your simulation program by follow-
ing these steps:
1. Create your simulation input file directly by keyword input or
by using the PRO/II GUI.
2. Run your problem to obtain the three database files, i.e., run the
flowsheet with the TITLE statement keyword NEWFILE=xxxx,
where xxxx is the primary name of the PRO/II database files to
be retained.
3. For PRO/II GUI, solve the flowsheet, and then either generate
an output report or select Output/Perform Output Calculations.
Save the file with the extension .PR1.

For each PDTS example problem, you must then complete the fol-
lowing steps:
1. Create a PDTS Fortran main routine that will retrieve the data
required by Class, Attribute and Item, and that will print the
data to the output file in the tabular format desired.
2. Compile the PDTS Fortran routine and link with the supplied
PRO/II libraries.
3. Execute the PDTS application program.
Example Problem 4-1: Compressor Train

Task Description
The user is simulating a compressor train consisting of three stages
of compression. It is desired to create a table consolidating the out-
put results of all three stages.
Creating the PDTS Application Program

The key lines in the Fortran PDTS program are detailed in the steps
below:
1. Prompt the user of the PDTS application for the file name.
This is the same file name that was entered as keyword
NEWFILE= xxxx.
101 FORMAT(‘ *** PDTS EXAMPLE PROBLEM # 1 ***’,/,
+ ‘ ENTER FILE NAME: ’)
102 FORMAT(A)
.
.
.
C ENTER FILE NAME
C
WRITE (*,101)
READ (*,102) FNAME
2. Call subroutine PAOPEN with this name to open the database

files. It is assumed that these files are located in the current
working directory. In the call to PAOPEN, supply a blank string
as argument SFPATH (i.e., it is assumed that the PRO/II support
and error files have been installed in the default directory loca-
tion). If this is not the case, supply the appropriate path string to
this routine.
C INITIALIZE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM & OPEN SELECTED FILE
C
CALL PAOPEN(FNAME,‘ ’,NFOUT,IRCODE)
4-2 PDTS Example Problems

IF (IRCODE .NE. 0) THEN
WRITE(*,205)
STOP
ENDIF
PAOPEN will return a Fortran unit number as variable NFOUT. The
default output has a file extension of .PDS. Check the returned error
code (IRCODE) to see if there was a problem opening the files.
Note: Because there was only a single PRO/II simulation case

run, there is no need to set up a case (i.e., routines PACASE and
PACASEL are not necessary).
3. The next subroutine call is to PAMISC. This initializes data

retrieval and returns the key flowsheet parameters. Check the
returned error code from this routine. A value of 1 indicates
that the PRO/II simulation solution was not reached.
C GET MISCELLANEOUS FLOWSHEET DATA
C
CALL PAMISC(NCOMP,NSTRM,NUNIT,IRCODE)
WRITE (*,203)
STOP
ENDIF
4. The next subroutine call is to PADATC which will return an array

of 12 character strings containing the unit IDs. By referring to
Chapter 5, you can see that the Class and Attribute for this
retrieval are ‘UNIT’ and ‘IDS’ respectively. Because these data are
required for all units, the Item is ‘All’.
C GET UNIT IDS
C
CALL PADATC(‘UNIT’,‘IDS’,‘ALL’,UID,KS,KC,IER)
5. Next, obtain arrays of unit type and unit description for each
individual unit. In these retrievals, the individual unit ID string
is the Item passed to PADATC. As each unit type and description
string is retrieved, it is echoed to the output file.
C GET UNIT TYPE & NAME
C
DO 1004 IX = 1, NUNIT
CALL PADATC(‘UNIT’,‘TYPE’,UID(IX),UTYPE(IX,KS,KC,IER)
C
CALL PADATC(‘UNIT’,‘NAME’,UID(IX),UNAME(IX,KS,KC,IER)
C
WRITE (NFOUT,111) IX,UID(IX),UTYPE(IX),UNAME(IX)\
1004 CONTINUE
6. Then, an iterative loop is set up to cycle through all units to

select the compressor unit operations for data retrieval. To
check the unit type, keep in mind that the first four characters

of the type string will match those of the unit operation key-
word for that unit type. Note that the user-selected default input
units are specified on the DIMENSION statement in the PRO/II
input file before calling subroutine PADATR. A series of floating
point data retrievals are set up inside the loop. In each case, the
Class is ‘Compressor’ and the call to subroutine PADATR is made
with the appropriate Attribute string as given in Chapter 5 for
Compressor data.

which is used after the loop to get the required unit of measure
strings from function PAUOMS.

You are simulating a single column. The objective is to do a case
study and generate a table of the effects of increasing feed flowrate
on condenser and reboiler duty for each case study.

as argument SFPATH (i.e., it is assumed that the user has
installed the PRO/II support and error files in the default direc-
tory location). If this is not true, you must supply the appropri-
ate path string to this routine.
C
WRITE(*,205)
STOP
ENDIF
PAOPEN will return a Fortran unit number as variable NFOUT.
The default output has a file extension of .PDS. You should
check the returned error code (IRCODE) to see if there was a
problem opening the files.
3. Next, call PACASL to get an array containing the case study
IDs.

C GET ARRAY OF CASE IDS
C
CALL PACASL(MXN,KXN,CASE,IRCODE)
NXN = MIN(MXN,KXN)
Then, set the default input units as the units of measure for the
PDTS routine, and set up the target unit to be unit D101 and the
target stream to be stream 1.
C SET UNIT OF MEASURE AS DEFAULT INPUT UNITS
C
UOM = 0
C
C TARGET CASE ID IS D101
C FEED STREAM IS ‘1’
C
UID = ‘D101’
SID = ‘1’
4. Set up each case study by calling PACASE in an iterative loop.

C SET UP EACH CASE
C
DO 3001 KX = 1, NXN
WRITE(*,105) CASE(KX)
CALL PACASE(CASE(KX),IRCODE)
5. The next subroutine call is to PAMISC. This will initialize the

data retrieval process and return the key flowsheet parameters.
You should check the returned error code from this routine. A
value of 1 indicates that the PRO/II simulation solution was not
reached.
C
WRITE (*,203)
STOP
ENDIF
6. The next subroutine call is to PADATC which will return the col-
umn unit name. By referring to Chapter 5, you can see that the
Class and Attribute for this retrieval are ‘UNIT’ and ‘NAME’
respectively. Because these data are required for one unit only,
the Item is UID.
C GET UNIT NAME
C
C CALL PADATC(‘UNIT’,‘NAME’,UID,UNAME,KS,KC,IER)
7. The next step is to obtain the total molar flowrate of the feed
stream 1. In these retrievals, the individual stream ID string
(defined above as stream “1”) is the Item passed to PADATC.
C GET FEED STREAM RATE

C
C CALL PADATR(‘STREAM’,‘TotalMolarate’,SID,FLOW(KX),
C + KC,KUOM,IFLOW,IER)
8. Then, two separate calls are made to PADATR to retrieve the col-
umn condenser and reboiler duties. To check the unit type, keep
in mind that the first four characters of the type string will
match those of the unit operation keyword for that unit type. In
each case, the Class is ‘Colu’ and the calls to subroutine PADATR
are made with the appropriate Attribute strings as given in
Chapter 5 for Column data.
C GET COLUMN CONDENSER & REBOILER DUTIES
C
CALL PADATR(‘Colu’,‘CondenserDuty’,UID,QCON(KX),KC,
+ KUOM,IDUTY,IER)
C
CALL PADATR(‘Colu’,‘ReboilerDuty’,UID,QREB(KX),KC,
+ KUOM,IUOM,IER)
C
3001 CONTINUE

which is used after the loop to get the required unit of measure
strings from function PAUOMS.
C
DNFLOW = PAUOMS(IFLOW, KUOM, IERR)
10. Finally, a formatted table of stream flowrates and column con-

denser and reboiler duties is printed.
C WRITE OUT TABLE
C
WRITE(NFOUT,112) UID, UNAME
WRITE(NFOUT,114) (CASE(I), I = 1, NXN)
WRITE(NFOUT,115) DNFLOW, (FLOW(I), I = 1, NXN)
WRITE(NFOUT,116) DNDUTY, (QCON(I), I = 1, NXN)
WRITE(NFOUT,117) DNDUTY, (QREB(I), I = 1, NXN)

Example Problem 4-3: Trayed Column
Task Description
You have used the PRO/II program to rate a trayed column. Your
objective is to obtain tray-by-tray results for the column.

PAOPEN will return a Fortran unit number as variable NFOUT.
The default output has a file extension of .PDS. Check the
returned error code (IRCODE) to see if there was a problem
opening the files.
3. The next subroutine call is to PAMISC. This initializes the data
retrieval process and returns the key flowsheet parameters.
Check the returned error code from this routine. A value of 1
indicates that the PRO/II simulation solution was not reached.

C

Then, set the default input units as the units of measure for the
PDTS routine, and set up the target unit to be unit D101.
C
C KUOM = 0
C
C
UID = ‘D101’
4. The next two subroutine calls are to PADATC, which returns the
component IDs and column unit name. By referring to Chapter
5, you can see that the Class and Attribute for the first call are
‘COMPS’ and ‘IDS’. Because these data are required for all com-
ponents, the Item is ‘ALL’. For the second call, the Class and
Attribute are ‘UNIT’ and ‘NAME’ respectively. Because these data
are required for one unit only, the Item is UID.
C GET COMPONENT IDS
C
CALL PADATC(‘COMPS’,‘IDS’,‘ALL’,COMPID,KS,KC,IER)
C
C GET UNIT NAME
C
CALL PADATC(‘UNIT’,‘NAME’,UID,UNAME,KS,KC,IER)
5. The next step is to obtain the total number of trays in column

D101 by calling routine PADATI. In this call, the Class and
Attribute are ‘Colu’ and ‘NumberOfTrays’. Because these data are
required for this unit only, the Item is the UID.
C GET NUMBER OF TRAYS
C
CALL PADATI(‘Colu’,‘NumberOfTrays’,UID,NTRAY,KC,IER)
6. Then, two separate calls are made to PADATR to retrieve the col-
umn tray temperature and pressure. To check the unit type,
keep in mind that the first four characters of the type string will
match those of the unit operations keyword for that unit type. In
each case the Class is ‘Colu’ and the calls to subroutine PADATR
are made with the appropriate Attribute strings as given in
Chapter 5 for Column data.

C GET COLUMN TRAY BY TRAY TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE
C
CALL PADATR(‘Colu’,‘TrayPressures’,UID,PRES,KC,KUOM,
+ IPRES,IER)
C
CALL PADATR(‘Colu’,‘TrayTemperatures’,UID,TEMP,

Similar calls are made to PADATR for tray liquid and vapor net
rates, densities and compositions.
C GET COLUMN TRAY BY TRAY NET LIQUID & NET VAPOR RATES
C
CALL PADATR(‘Colu’,‘TrayNetVapRates’,UID,XVNET,KC,

User-Addressable Utility Functions
Subroutine FIGETU
The calling sequence is:
CALL FIGETU ( 1, LOUT)
This is a PRO/II utility that guarantees that the Fortran unit number
passed to your Fortran OPEN statement will not conflict with files
opened by the PDTS system. The FIGETU subroutine call returns the
next available Fortran unit number for input or output as integer
variable LOUT. An example code extract is shown below:
CHARACTER*8 FNAME
CHARACTER*12 FEXTRA

Guide for Pre-v5.5 PDTS-UAS Users
PDTS Applications
Applications which have been developed in the past using older ver-
sions of the PDTS functions will continue to work with this version
of PRO/II with minor modifications.
Users must recompile the Fortran source code and relink their
PDTS application with this version of the PRO/II libraries in order
to make them compatible with PRO/II databases generated with
PRO/II v5.5.
Note: PRO/II database files are not compatible across versions or

hardware platforms.
UAS Applications
PRO/II UAS v5.5 allows up to 25 feed and 25 product streams. The
URXINF subroutine is used to identify these streams.
Prior versions were limited to 10 feed and 10 product streams, and
the IDATA array was used for stream identification:
➤ IDATA(11)-(20) Stream IDs for feeds in same order as FEED
statement
➤ IDATA(21)-(30) Stream IDs for products in same order as
PRODUCT statement
Although this method is still valid in version 5.5 for the first 10 feed
and product streams, it is no longer recommended.
To ensure compatibility with future versions, users are encouraged
to revise their UAS code to account for this change.

Guide for PDTS and UAS v4.0 Users
For applications that were developed using versions 4.0 to 4.17, the
PDTS functions will work with these versions without modifica-
tion. However, you must recompile and relink your application with
the latest version of the PRO/II libraries in order to be compatible
with PRO/II v5.5.
