I'm trying to streamline the data input before our production parts are run. To do this I'm trying to set values I know wont change from day to day (part number, Rev, etc) to variables so they can be recalled in reports. Currently we use Input Comments to enter every little detail, including those that never change, so we end up hitting Return up to 14 times, when around 2 items are even edited.
I started with automating the date, and got nowhere. Here is what I've tried so far:
STARTUP =ALIGNMENT/START,RECALL:,LIST=YES
ALIGNMENT/END
STATS/ON,DATAPAGE,$
DIRECTORY=,$
READ=10,WRITE=20,MEMPAGES=4,FEATURE NAME,CONTROLCALC OFF,$
STATS/END
COMMENT/REPT,INSPECTION PERFORMED AT DI HED YOKES
ASSIGN/C1 = SYSTEMDATE("MM/dd/yy")
TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; DATE : C1
The report will run, but I can't seem to find a way to get the DATE to print in the report window. It works if I put SYSTEMDATE() into a Report Comment, but if I change to DATE: SYSTEMDATE() then I just get either a zero or just the text (depending on the space between : and SYSTEMDATE). Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks.
