Dear Dr

When you give soil data (physical, chemical etc of your site in soils file, DSSAT will automatically calculate albedo (SALB) values. By mistake you might have given SALB as 0.0. So remove the valu given by you in soil file and let the DSSAT soft ware calculate it itself. If you know the SALB values exactly give them.

Sincerely
