Extracting Group Name & Comment from Machine Group Properties


Recommended Posts

Newbie here...

 

I'm wanting to extract the Group Name & Comment from the Machine Group Properties and insert into the posted NC file at the top. I've found some documentation explaining the use of pmachineinfo$ postblock.

I've searched for related topics but didn't find anything. My code basically looks like this:

 

sgrp_name #Define string variable for machine group name

sgrp_comment #Define string variable for machine group comment

 

psof$

sgrp_name = ucase(sgrp_name)

sgrp_comment = ucase(sgrp_comment)

pbld, n$, "(", *sgrp_name, ")", e$

pbld, n$, "(", *sgrp_comment, ")", e$

 

 

pmachineinfo$

if prmcode$ = 19246, sgrp_name = sparameter$

if prmcode$ = 19111, sgrp_comment = sparameter$

 

 

However when I post, I get the following:

What am I missing?

 

Thanks,

David

Hey thanks for the reply....I figured it out... I was missing the rd_tlpathgrp$ command.

 

 

The code looks like this now:

 

 

sgrp_name #Define string variable for machine group name

sgrp_comment #Define string variable for machine group comment

 

psof$

sgrp_name = ucase(sgrp_name)

sgrp_comment = ucase(sgrp_comment)

pbld, n$, "(", *sgrp_name, ")", e$

pbld, n$, "(", *sgrp_comment, ")", e$

 

 

pprep2

rd_tlpathgrp$ #Reads Machine Group Parameters

 

 

pmachineinfo$

if prmcode$ = 19248, sgrp_name = sparameter$ #Group Name variable

if prmcode$ = 19111, sgrp_comment = sparameter$ #Group Comment variable

 

 

....Works like a charm! Thanks!
