I am trying to help the programmer from one of our sister plants. Currently, there is a form (CS2) that they fill out at the beginning of each run (see image above). I used dropdown lists for the critical fields to prevent typos that would break transferring the measurements to a database. The problem using a dropdown list has created is that while the non-critical fields can be retained for the next run (by answering "Yes" to C1), I could not find a way to retain the dropdown list selections.
I have previously tried using ASSIGN to set them, but the form still defaulted to a blank selection. Does anyone know if it possible to retain all selections and inputs for a follow-up run?
GRP_START =GROUP/SHOWALLPARAMS=YES
C1 =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
Is this the same order as the previous part?
IF_GOTO/C1.INPUT=="YES",GOTO = CS2
ASSIGN/CUSTOMER=""
ASSIGN/SIZE="LG"
ASSIGN/THICKNESS=3
ASSIGN/CUT=""
ASSIGN/MATERIAL=""
ASSIGN/JOBNUMBER=""
ASSIGN/SERIALNUMBER=""
ASSIGN/FIRINGNUMBER=""
