Adding a new variable

Adding a new variable to a method using getData to obtain the information defined in the ini file

In hector.ini under the corresponding component add variable Ex: SN = 42000;

In hpp file of component add variable as tseries/unitval/double/etc.

In component_data.hpp define the variables that are being added Ex: #define D_ATMOSPHERIC_SO2 “SN” These names do not have to match internal component variables but the ini definition has to match what appears in quotes

In the component file .cpp under init, need to register the Capability core->registerCapability( D_ATMOSPHERIC_SO2, getComponentName() );

In cpp file of component, under getData and setData, add the new variables in before the Error message NOTE: see tseries documentation for more information on getData

(getData)
else if( varName == D_ATMOSPHERIC_SO2 ) {
   
returnval = SN;
    
(setData)
else if( varName ==  D_ATMOSPHERIC_SO2  ) {
       
H_ASSERT( data.date == Core::undefinedIndex(), "date not allowed" );

    SN.set( lexical_cast<double>( value ), U_GG );
    }

If this variable is called in another component. For example if adding in a variable within the focing component Ex: unitval SN = core->getData( D_ATMOSPHERIC_SO2, runToDate);

If this variable is a unitval, the new unitval needs to appear in the unitval.hpp file.
