How to turn Part-Header into variables

with the following lines you can turn the 4 values of the
part-header into variables:

ASSIGN/PART = STR(GETTEXT(191, 1, {FILEHEDR}))
ASSIGN/REVI = STR(GETTEXT(192, 1, {FILEHEDR}))
ASSIGN/SERI = STR(GETTEXT(193, 1, {FILEHEDR}))
ASSIGN/STAT = STR(GETTEXT(194, 1, {FILEHEDR}))

for a short description see the attached pdf-file
Part-HeaderInVariables.pdf

where do I add the text of what I want it to say?

Say I want to change part name to E/C Level, what would I do?

Also, would this only change the header in the report? Is there any way to automaticly change it in the command window?

It does not change the info. It sets variables that contain the info for useage somewhere else. Say for some reason you need to reference the part number in the header somewhere else in the part program you'd do this.

If you want to change the info you'd probably have to use the put text method.

Jeff, if you want to change the value of what is in the header info, see this thread.

Take note of that last few statements in the script: if you do NOT refresh your Report Window, your printed report will have the old information. Not until you refresh will the new info be visible. You can refresh using the refresh button in PC-DMIS, or do like I do in the script and force a refresh during execution.
