Pass an Input Comment to a Tracefield

kmcmm
Ok I forgot the code for this and what I looked up in the search has not worked thus far.

V3.7 MR3
9-12-9 Xcel
Shapre 32 Controller

I tried a couple different combinations but I could not get my input comment to pass to my tracefield.

Here is what I have tried

C1 = COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'ROUTE #'
TRACEFILED/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15; : C1.INPUT

C1 = COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'ROUTE #'
TRACEFILED/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15; : +C1.INPUT

I also tried passing the input comment to a variable then to the tracefiled.

C1 = COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'ROUTE #'
ASSIGN/V1, C1.INPUT
TRACEFILED/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15; : V1

C1 = COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'ROUTE #'
ASSIGN/V1, C1.INPUT
TRACEFILED/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15; : +V1

TIA
  • This works for me in 4.2-1-
    TRACEFIELD/DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; PALLET: 1
    it puts the "PALLET: 1" in my report

    I use this on all my programs, but the tracefields need to be refreshed. Hexagon sent me a little refresh.bas file that I put at the end of my programs and it updates all the tracefields. PM me your e-mail address and I will send you the refresh.bas file.

    You could also post it here...

    Here you go. It includes the refresh.bas, a zero.bas (which clears all comment/inputs) and an example of how I use them.

  • Moved to tips and tricks for the valuable information. Thanks DeWain for sharing.

    Kevin, did you have the STATS command before you assigned the tracefields? I use your first method all the time and it works for me! The only thing I see missing is TRACEFILED/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15; ROUTE# : C1.INPUT. It may have a problem with the # sign but your tracefield definition is missing a name!

    "Tracefield" is spelled "Tracefiled" above. If that is simply a forum typo disregard this post.
    If it is (somehow) spelled that way in the program it won't work.

    DeWain Hodge,

    I was wondering if you could send these files to my email, I am unable to access them via the forum, probably because of my IT department. I am a beginner in programming with PC-DMIS right now but I am really interested in looking at these files, as I have just begun to mess with .bas files myself. If I send you my email via private message would you do me the favor?
  • This works here at 3.7: 

    STATION_IN =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'Station # '
            STATS/ON,DATAPAGE,$
            DIRECTORY=P:\DATAPAGE\GKN,$
            DIRECTORY=,$
            READ=20,WRITE=20,MEMPAGES=256,DIMENSION NAME,CONTROLCALC ON,$
            STATS/END
            TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; Station : STATION_IN.INPUT


    The tracefield line must come after the stats on to "take" !
