RE: Reading external data from a file.

["Visscher, K." <visscher@xxxxxx>]

Use the type 9 data reader in mode 2 (standard data reader). 
Use "formatted reading" (FRMT>0), followed by a Fortran Format statement
(only the piece between parentheses)
The output of type 9 then is input to your newly defined type.

If your new type would read data all by itself, this would create a "hidden
input" in TRNSYS.
I think that this is not how TRNSYS is meant to work.
