psspy.inta() mentioned above and the macro-recording functionality of psse are good points.

Additionally, in the V34 documentation the API manual has a few functions under Chapter 8.23 (Area subsystem data retrieval) that you should look at.

• psspy.aareareal is a function that has various options for returning area interchange values.
• psspy.aareaint could return you a list of all area numbers. You could combine this function, the array it returns, and the TRXDAT function you mentioned to write a loop that iterates over combinations of existing areas and determines the transfer between those areas.

Finally, you could just do a simple psspy.list() function, and be sure to specify the option so that you output "area interchange data" or "inter-area transfer data"-- obviously doesn't return you values, but would allow you to observe what is going on.

as a rule of thumb; if you do not find an API in the manual, try executing PSS/E to obtain what you want and record what you are doing using *py. If you were to do this you will notice that you have two choices:

psspy.inta(number,number) psspy.area_zone(number,number)

where if number, number is 0,1 the report is for all areas
