Narrative:
Told to taxi runway 16L at lima intersection for takeoff. Tower clears us to cross runway 16L at taxiway J hold short runway 16R. Next we are cleared to take off runway 16R at taxiway J. Upon later discussion, the first officer tells me we don't have takeoff data for a taxiway J intersection departure on the right runway. She mistook the data for runway 16L as runway 16R data. Factors leading to the problem: 1) I am a new captain with low experience (hi minimums). 2) there is so much runway available, I did not even think to check for ATOG's from that intersection. In the future I need to be more careful when given a non standard clearance, and rechk ATOG's when given a different intersection. Safety was definitely not an issue due to the amount of runway available but the fact still remains that the company does not give us data for takeoff from that intersection. This was an inadvertent illegal departure.

Title: TKOF PERFORMANCE DATA NOT AVAILABLE FOR RWY USED FOR TKOF. DISCOVERED AFTER THE FACT.
Narrative: TOLD TO TAXI RWY 16L AT LIMA INTXN FOR TKOF. TWR CLRS US TO CROSS RWY 16L AT TXWY J HOLD SHORT RWY 16R. NEXT WE ARE CLRED TO TAKE OFF RWY 16R AT TXWY J. UPON LATER DISCUSSION, THE FO TELLS ME WE DON'T HAVE TKOF DATA FOR A TXWY J INTXN DEP ON THE R RWY. SHE MISTOOK THE DATA FOR RWY 16L AS RWY 16R DATA. FACTORS LEADING TO THE PROB: 1) I AM A NEW CAPT WITH LOW EXPERIENCE (HI MINIMUMS). 2) THERE IS SO MUCH RWY AVAILABLE, I DID NOT EVEN THINK TO CHK FOR ATOG'S FROM THAT INTXN. IN THE FUTURE I NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL WHEN GIVEN A NON STANDARD CLRNC, AND RECHK ATOG'S WHEN GIVEN A DIFFERENT INTXN. SAFETY WAS DEFINITELY NOT AN ISSUE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF RWY AVAILABLE BUT THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT GIVE US DATA FOR TKOF FROM THAT INTXN. THIS WAS AN INADVERTENT ILLEGAL DEP.
