Are there character limits for columns in the emissions file? For example, if I want to emit for a week, and the second emissions header is "DURATION(hhmm)", will a corresponding entry of "16800" (ie. 168 hours and 0 minutes) work?

We just talked about this in the workshop presentation that it is not limited to 4 digits. It will work If you put in 16800 for the duration. Not that all the columns in the EMITIMES file are separated by blank characters.

Yes thank you for both the explanation during the session and the response here!
