Hi Juan

Check out the MACHINE_DATA_2 command in the PSSE API document

BAT_MACHINE_DATA_2 I 'ID' INTGAR(1)...INTGAR(6) REALAR(1)...REALAR(17)

You'll find that REALAR(1) is the machine active power output. Continue to increase it until the machine's limit PT.

This is the sort of job that a python file makes very easy.

busname, busid = 200, '1'
pt = psspy.macdat(busname, busid, "PMAX") # PT is the generator limit
p = psspy.macdat(busname, busid, "P")     # P is the current active power
while p < pt:
    psspy.machine_data_2(busname, busid, realar1=p + 10) # increment by 10 MW
    p = psspy.macdat(busname, busid, "P")

If you can get your IDEV file to work - then that is great. But with Python you'll get more control.
