External Command and DataPage+

I'm using PC-DMIS 2011 MR1 & DataPage+ MR1. When I run program that has features within the program that are looped, I only get one set of values, all the looped values in brackets are blank or null
If a program has no looping Datapage+ shows results fine. It also creates several, (depending on number looped featrues), extra transactions which are a second apart with no values.

Any help on this would be great.

Dennis;

I set the 'ID=NO' in the LOOP/START command and do not have the problem you are describing. I believe it is set to 'ID=YES' by default.

Hope this helps,

Doug Wells

Doug,

Thanks, I tried this but still no change on my results. Don't know if I need to put the external command somewhere inside the loop or not?

Thanks Dennis G.

Try placing a Stats Update command just before your Loop End command.

You'd get more replies if this were asked in the PCDMIS Forum.

I do not use loops very often anymore but my training manual states that "If a program is looped, ensure the EXTERNAL commanind is outside the LOOP. Uncheck Loop Id's."

Place this line at the end of program (or loop):
EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\PROGRAM

FILES\WAI\DATAPAGE+ 2011 MR1\DATAPAGESTATS.EXE -listening

PS: use DISPLAY instead of NO_DISPLAY, is faster.

I appreciate all the help on this, but still in need of help. As mention before the problem is with looped features within the program. It will not give me the dimension results for the looped features that are in the loop. All other dimensions outside the loop are displayed.
