Look for tech note tech123.htm on the SmartCAM CD, this file shows the jos
data tags. Here are two examples.
@DECLARE
#STR #jobnot
#STR #tm_notes
#EVAL(#jobnot=jos(job_note))
#IFSTR(#jobnot<>)<(#jobnot)>
#EVAL(#tlnote=jos(tm_notes))
#IFSTR(#tlnote<>)<(#tlnote)>
The field will not be output if it is empty.
With the jos tags I'm finding I have to restrain myself or I would end up
with code that has more notes and documentation than actual machine code :

<< File: Fadalnew.tmp >> WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks guys. I now have it punching out perfect code for reversing
tension-compression tappers, tapmatic
tappers, and rigid tapping. I sure appreciate all your help. Here is a
copy of the .tmp for anyone that wants it.
By the way, where are the jos(xxxx) type fields listed so I can include
them
on my printouts.
I want to include the .jof Job notes and Tool notes in my program, but am
not sure of the field names. Is there a list?
Thanks again
Jon
