Cell expressions in the header.

Do you want to modify part name to be "Part Number" and Ser Number to be Job Number?

Do you want to modify part name to be "Part Number" and Ser Number to be Job Number?

Yes

You can merge those cells horizontally and put this in a cell, and within your programs create assign statements that pull in data from an input type comment

= "Part Number: " + VARIABLE("V1")

= "Job Number: " + VARIABLE("V2")

C1         =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            Please Edit Comment Text!
C2         =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            Please Edit Comment Text!
            ASSIGN/V1=C1.INPUT
            ASSIGN/V2=C2.INPUT

I wanted to merge it, but I can't. Do you have an idea why?

Have to unmerge the one on the right first, as it's already merged by default

If you are having trouble with merging do this without merging. I only merged to have more space in case of long data strings.

="Part Number: " in first cell of top row

= VARIABLE("V1") in second cell of top row

= "Job Number: " in Serial Number cell

= VARIABLE("V2") in the cell to the right of Serial Number

Did you ever figure out what you wanted to do?

I don't have time to try it out yet, but when I find the time I'll let you know.

Thanks

No problem, I just wanted to make sure it was all working for you. Didn't want to leave you without a solution.

I did it. It is working!

Now I have to save it like SUB routine, right? so I can add this to every program.
This is new for me...I NEED HELP.

NEW IMAGE OF MY HEADER. Thank you WilliamL !

Yes, you can make it a subroutine. Or you can just remember to paste in these details before each program and use a more unique variable than "V1" incase you already are using them in other programs.

PARTNUM

JOBNUM

OPERATORNUM

Although I don't think PC-DMIS likes when you paste in assign statements.

C1         =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            Enter Part Number
C2         =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            Enter Job Number
C3         =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            Enter Operator ID Number
            ASSIGN/V1=C1.INPUT
            ASSIGN/V2=C2.INPUT
            ASSIGN/V3=C3.INPUT
