DYNAMO User's Manual Book

DYNAMO is a computer language for simulating models of business, economic, social, biological, and engineering systems. It permits easy communication with the computer and easier communication among modelers and can be mastered by non-programmers in days rather than the weeks or months required for most languages. The sixth edition of the DYNAMO User's Manual introduces the basic DYNAMO language, includes a reference manual for DYNAMO II with an expanded section on macros and documents all the improvements that have been made to DYNAMO III since it was completed in 1976, Experience with this system has led to changes which make the array feature even more useful than before in the construction of large; disaggregated models. The Manual introduces DYNAMO IV, with its improved integration method, and describes Gaming DYNAMO. Typical errors in model construction (and their corrections) are presented, along with a complete list of DYNAMO error messages. This edition also includes the new DOCUMENTOR program which produces annotated model listing, crossreferences, and indices. DYNAMO compilers are available both in versions specific to the IBM/370 and in versions written in ANS FORTRAN.
