Re: Initial SERC Load with OCC

Hi Christoph,

no misunderstanding, please: You can certainly use the OCC to generate a spec in EH&S. Simply create a corresponding dat-file, just like you used to do with the DataEditor. But you cannot load data from SERC to a spec that doesn't yet exist in EH&S. The reason is simply this: If the spec doesn't yet exist, which data should the OCC load onto the spec or in other words: How can the OCC identify the nature of the spec? For this reason you need to have a LIST_SUB with a CAS number or a UN-listed Sub with a UN number. Then the OCC knows which substance it is and load the correct data.

So the steps are:

1. Create the spec in the system, either manually or via load from a created dat-file and give it a CAS or UN number
2. Load SERC data onto the spec using OCC
