Trouble with Tracefields..

Here's the code, but it's not working. I want the operator to enter a part # and then use that as a tracefield. I know it works, I've seen it in class. Any thoughts???



MOVE/POINT,NORMAL,<0,0,150>
C2         =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'Part #'
            TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; Part # : C2.INPUT

  • You have it after the stats on command?


    No.....

    Should I?

    Edit: I moved it and now it works. Thank you, Mr. Miller for your prompt assistance.

    It is set to NO_DISPLAY, double click on it and hit F8
  • It is set to NO_DISPLAY, double click on it and hit F8


    Matt,
    I think NO_DISPLAY is ok. The comment/input takes care of it.
    Otherwise is going to pop twice on the screen.

    That is correct. Popping up twice is redundant.



    (I just didn't want Matt yelling at me for correcting him) shhh....

    Well, if YOU prefer to only POP UP once, who am I to complain (I think your WIFE will......)
