At the beginning of each program, I have a Form that operators need to fill out. Unfortunately, we have operators that like to just click the continue button on the execution box, which bypasses the form and the program continues. This will not cause the program to crash, but along with other people, I like to see what job# the part was run, who ran it, and for what reason. (Each tracefield is coded into a customized header) So I have had to create a flow control that will not allow operators to bypass the form. They will need to completely fill it out to continue running the program. Hopefully this will help someone who may be in the same situation.
Code:
REFILL =LABEL/
ASSIGN/STR_INSPECT=""
ASSIGN/STR_USER=""
ASSIGN/STR_DESC=""
CS1 =FORM/FILENAME= C:\USERS\CMM\DOCUMENTS\CMM FILES\FORMS\INSPECTIONFORM.FORM
PARAM/TXTINSPECT.TEXT=STR_INSPECT
PARAM/TXTUSER.TEXT=STR_USER
PARAM/TXTDESCRIPTION.TEXT=STR_DESC
PARAM/=
ENDFORM/
ASSIGN/FORM1=STR_USER
ASSIGN/FORM2=STR_INSPECT
ASSIGN/FORM3=STR_DESC
IF/FORM1=="" OR FORM2=="" OR FORM3==""
COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
Please completely fill out the form in the upper left corner.
GOTO/REFILL
END_IF/
TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; TECH / OPERATOR : FORM1
TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=20 ; COMMENTS : FORM2
TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; JOB / PART# : FORM3
