I'm very new to PCDMIS and DATA PAGE. How do you even get your Data from your Parts to Data page? I'm using the PCD2Excel Wizard after each part and that gives me the data in spread sheet form but I have no clue how to get the info to Datapage? Where should I start?

    Create your Datapage Part Directories in DataPage Editor (I think)...directory names can't be longer than 8 characters ( at least in 3.33)...Go to you part program and "Insert" Stats Command..n Tracefilds if you want...follow the instructions in the pop-up windows to define Datapage directory paths and you should be good to go.

    If this doesn't help...down load the Instructions from the Wilcox Associates site


    V1 =FILE/EXISTS,C:\PROGRAM FILES\WAI\PC-DMIS V41\XSTATS11.TMP
    IF/V1==1
    FILE/DELETE,C:\PROGRAM FILES\WAI\PC-DMIS V41\XSTATS11.TMP
    END_IF/

    Enter this code...will be different for different versions...this is for 4.1...will save you a ton of headaches...
  • Uhhh, lets start over.

    You must create a database, do this in datapage editor. This is the database all your data will go. This is also the database you will open in datapage to see and output your data, any way you want.

    As far as the command in pc-dmis, I have no idea what this guy is talking about, its simple, in ALL versions. Go to insert stats command in the menu, select the database you created, this will point Pc-dmis where to put the data after each part run, it should look like this :

    STATS/ON,DATAPAGE,$
    DIRECTORY=C:\DATAPAGE\SOLO,$
    DIRECTORY=,$
    READ=20,WRITE=20,MEMPAGES=256,DIMENSION NAME,CONTROLCALC OFF,$
    STATS/END


    I am not sure what the heck this guy is talking about, if you don't know, please don't make a simple issue complicated.

    I think that code is what goes at the beginning of a program to delete the XSTATS11.TMP file when you execute the program.

    Yes it does go in the beginning of the program...it completely eliminated all of the "infamous" database errors.. file corruption..locking issues etc...

    I was not trying to make it difficult..sorry you misinterpreted is as "not knowing what i was talking about, Mr. JJewell"
  • I'm glad you posted this tinabeth, I too am just getting in to datapage and need the info.

    Other than that, I cant believe the way you guys (sometimes) talk to each other around here.

    Well, I have NEVER ever had an issue with my xstats.tmp file or a corrupted database and needing all that code. Here is why, I create my program, then put the stats command in , then do all my dimensioning. That way , the dimensioning and the stats on command doesn't become active until you have completely run the program. So nah, nah, nah....LOL

    Have a nice day...Smiley
  • I do all my dimensioning directly after feature measurement...not all at once at the end of the program...I'll try your way to see if it works as good as you say... Slight smile
  • Good idea, give it a try. I have been doing this forever, but there is always many great ideas on here...and some not so great, but I avoid those...LOL
  • ...what are you trying to say...Smiley I'm willing to bet you don't work in a production enviroment..13 machining depts and 2 assembly lines running 3-shifts 6 days a week.. I was asked by management to do dimensioning immediately after measurement so the operators could stop the program immediately after they get the info they need Disappointed
