Inquiry about Calculating Apparent Heat Source and Moisture Sink in CAM6.0

I am currently using the CAM6.0 model and would like to calculate the apparent heat source and moisture sink. From previous discussions on this topic, I found some answers regarding CAM3:

For temperature, the total physics tendency is PTTEND, where:
PTTEND = DTCOND + QRS + QRL + DTV + TTGWORO

For moisture, the total physics tendency is PTEQ, where:
PTEQ = DCQ + VD01 + DMEQ

However, in my model results, I cannot find the variables TTGWORO and DMEQ. Additionally, I noticed that someone mentioned in CAM6, the temperature tendency due to vertical turbulent transport is included in DTCOND, unlike in CAM5 where it was in DTV.

Could you please clarify how to calculate PTTEND and PTEQ in CAM6?

Thank you for your time and assistance.
