Michael: In moving .ami part of Section 6C into a new 10A, a key statement in Section 6C was left behind needs to be moved to Section 10A. Just above the Examples, "The model parameter file must be organized in the parameter tree format as discussed in "NOTES ON ALGORITHMIC MODELING INTERFACE AND PROGRAMMING GUIDE", Section 1010 of this document. " (Note the full paragraph in V5.0 is | The model parameter file must be organized in the parameter | tree format as discussed in section 3.1.2.6 of "NOTES ON | ALGORITHMIC MODELING INTERFACE AND PROGRAMMING GUIDE", | Section 10 of this document. The file must have 2 distinct | sections, or sub-trees, 'Reserved_Parameters' section and | 'Model_Specific' section with sections beginning and ending | with parentheses. The complete tree format is described in | the section 3.1.2.6 of the Section 10 of this document. While not clearly stated, the full implication is that the .ami file can support branches according to the rules of Section 10 as part of the Model_Specific and (possibly???) the Reserved_Parmameters sections of the .ami file. Therefore the full statement needs to be moved to Section 10A as is or as edited by any subsequent BIRDs.
