I am trying to solve simple least cost generation expansion planning problem using VEDA TIMES. My model consists of only one sector and 4 time slices. Navigation window shows ALL OK but when I try to solve the problem it shows unexpected termination of run and following errors are reported in QA_CHECKLOG-Notepad.  ****** TIMES -- VERSION 4.4.3 -- Restart (v4.4)  ******               **************   QUALITY ASSURANCE LOG   **************  *** GAMS Warnings Detected.  *** User-provided G_YRFR values are not valid year fractions  *01 WARNING       - TS fractions normalized,  (R.TSL.S)=NEP.ANNUAL.ANNUAL  *** Commodities/processes defined at non-existing TSLVL  *01 WARNING       - Number of COM/PRC resetted to coarser level: 3/12  *** COM_FR does not sum to unity (T=first year)  *01 WARNING       - Normalized to 1,   R=NEP          C=TEC          (T=2018)  *** Internal Region without Discount Rate  *99 FATAL ERROR   -     R=NEP  *** RPC in TOP not found in any ACTFLO/FLO_SHAR/FLO_FUNC/FLO_SUM  *01 WARNING       -     R=NEP          P=HYDRE        C=HYDR         IO=IN  *01 WARNING       -     R=NEP          P=HYDRN        C=HYDR         IO=IN I have checked several times sum of YRFR and COM_FR both are unity and discount rate of 0.04 is declared for all regions in syssettings. Can anaybody please help me to get rid of this error? I am really stuck since several days.

Indeed the first warning is incorrect, thanks a lot for pointing that out. This incorrect warning appears when there are *no* DAYNITE timeslices in the model; this warning is spurious and will be removed in the next version. Concerning your severe problem (fatal error due to no discount rate defined), could you post the listing file here (the *.LST file in the working folder, zipped please)? Then you also have a warning about COM_FR, which I cannot reproduce and I cannot see why it occurs without more information (e.g. the model input files *.DD, *.RUN). But let's first see the listing file.

Thanks for your prompt response. I think I have resolved my problem by changing the name of case name in case manager.
