How is this example? It will look better if you put it in a file and use a courier (monospace) font. Watch how I use APPNAME. * I declare it (APP_NAME : SN0001;) to be the contents of SN0001 * I use it to get the value of a variable (CTLINT := :'APP_NAME':DMCOP.CTLINT;) No

Thanks. We have used sysdef 2.1 for the expansion of our existing sysdef which was developed earlier in 1.1, than revised in 2.0 as our sysdef being a very large contains more than 600 letterbugs it was not possible to start from scratch. This was also analysed by Foxboro, experts from USA, an

Corey, You can run Foxboro's OPC Client on an AW70. This requires the AW to have a virtual controller. The OPC client running in the AW hooks the OPC objects to the C:B.P's you create in the virtual controller. Pretty simple to implement. However, the DCOM setup must be done correctly. The O

Harshad, Question: Did you use a newer or different version of SysDef to create the new commit?? Answer: If so, it is always a good idea to rebuild the SysDef from scratch when using a new version of Sysdef. I know this is a major hassle, but I have had

The correct way to access this information from a program is to use FoxAPI. The FoxAPI manual describes the CSA calls. Please use them. The header files for the ICCAPI calls are not shipped with the system because we want people to use FoxAPI. Regards, Alex Johnson 10707 Haddington Houston, T
