The proper and normal way to convert CSV to I/O API is to use the M3TOOLS program “m3fake” –
see https://cjcoats.github.io/ioapi/M3FAKE.html or https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/documentation/all_versions/html/M3FAKE.html.
Note that the I/O API is in fact an “applications programming interface” (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface), not a data format, and that attempts to treat it as one are NOT SUPPORTED.

Hello Baek,
The message I got was: "ERROR: Missing or negative emission value(s) in inventory for “mycompounds” and at the end “***ERROR ABORT in subroutine TEMPORAL Problem with input data.”
Anyway, I solved the issue by using monthly files and modifying monthly temporal profiles in “atpro_edgar_monthly.txt” file so they all have same values for all months.
If you are using the monthly inventory, yes you can use the same monthly values for all months. Good to hear you were able to resolve the issue.
