Subject: How to use SWMM 5 DOS to make an Output Table in the RPT file
You can make tables of the node, link and Subcatchment output data in SWMM 5 if you use the DOS SWMM 5 program but not the Windows DLL. Step 1 is to create the DOS batch file, Step 2 is to select the nodes, links and subcatchments, Step 3 is to run the batch file and Step 4 is to view the RPT tables or extract the data to Excel. You can do this directly in the InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM graphical user interfaces by using Run Manager, Step 5 to select the nodes, links and subcatchments and Step 6 to view the tables in the browser.
Step 1. Make a Batch File to call the DOS SWMM 5
swmm5.exe Example1.inp D:\swmm5.0.022\bob.rpt
pause
Step 2. Add the nodes, links and subcatchments tables you want to generate in the RPT file
[REPORT]
CONTROLS NO
LINKS ALL
NODES ALL
SUBCATCHMENTS ALL
Step 3. Run the Batch file
Step 4. Extract the Tables from the RPT File of SWMM 5

Step 5. InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM dialog for selecting nodes, links and subcatchments for generating a detailed RPT file table.
Step 6. Sample InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM RPT Tables if Report Options is used.
InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM are different graphical user interfaces with similar tools to the current version of SWMM 5. They both use a C++ engine built around the C code engine of SWMM 5. Most of these blogs apply to SWMM 5, InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM.
