Newbie question on Tracefields and Inputs

April11996 over 9 years ago

First time posting in the Datasuite section of the forum...

So we used to have Datapage/RT and now have Datapage + 2011MR1.

All our programs used to have tracefields set up in them and now we still have the tracefields, but we've also been doing inputs (where the input is reported on the .pdf report) and in the tracefield using the c1.input, c2.input, etc. in the tracefield itself.

So when I'm looking in Datapage this results in having the same information of the input and the tracefield (machine # twice, cmm operator # twice, shift twice etc.)

So going forward do we still need the tracefield anymore (utilizing just the input commands)?? What really is the difference between them now??

TIA,

acgarcia,

The code below reads a text file and uses the text as a tracefield. We run the same program on all machines and this gives us a way to track that in the stats if we need, might work for your application

CMMID      =FILE/OPEN,C:\PCDMISW\CMM.TXT,READ
V1         =FILE/READLINE,CMMID,*****}
            STATS/ON,DATAPAGE,$            DIRECTORY=P:\DATAPAGE\customer\part,$
            DIRECTORY=,$
            READ=60,WRITE=120,MEMPAGES=256,DIMENSION NAME,CONTROLCALC ON,$
            STATS/END
            TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; cmm : CMM

"CMMID,{ c m m }" (no spaces) changes to CMMID,*****} when I paste it here!
