I'm using the WEAP.ResultValue API to extract data for different paremeters. However, it gives an "invalid branch" error when I include branches that have the symbol "/" in their name. For example the "/" in a branch that has the Other/Bare land use type:

WEAP.ResultValue("Demand Sites and Catchments\Alarache\SANDY CLAY LOAM_Other/Bare:ET Potential[m^3]", Yr, Mes, WEAP.ActiveScenario)

I get the same problem for all the branches that have this symbol.

Please provide assistance!

Thanks

Hi Silvia,

It looks like one of your land use types is "Sandy Clay LOAM_OTHER/Bare". Unfortunately WEAP cannot handle foward slashes (/) in the names of land use types. We recommend renaming the land use type to delete the slash - and to do this for any other land use type that has a slash.

Keep in mind that if you have to re-delineate your catchments and landuses, you may need to make this change again.
