Where is this colon coming from

[So not a Guru]

I am trying to get this to output:

 

%
O0001(CCS1004-50-5-1P SHEET 1 OP 2 FLIP)

 

but this is what is outputting:

 

%
O:0001(CCS1004-50-5-1P SHEET 1 OP 2 FLIP)

 

i can't figure out where the ":" is coming from. Running debugger hasn't isolated it for me.

 

This is what I think is the relevant section in my post:

"%", e$      !spaces$, spaces$ = 0      "O", if progno$ = zero, progno$ = one

Any ideas?

Probably 'progno' format statement?

[Reko]

"%", e$
      !spaces$, spaces$ = 0
      "O", if progno$ = zero, progno$ = one

 

^^^

That letter O with the parenthesis is a forced output and should be removed... you don't need it... it is redundant.

 

The progno$ is what is outputting the colon character and that is proper for some controllers.

 

If you want to change the : to a letter O, you need to look at your fmt section of code and there you can change the colon to a letter O

Yeah someone hacked that post to add the O which was not needed in the post there are 2 ways to define the program number one with an O and one with a Colon. Remove the # sign in front of the one with the O defining the program number and put it in front of the one defining : as the program number and should be good from there. Normally looks like this in a standard post.

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Move comment (pound) to output colon with program numbers
fmt  "O" 7  progno$     #Program number
#fmt ":" 7   progno$     #Program number
fmt  "O" 7  main_prg_no$ #Program number
#fmt ":" 7   main_prg_no$ #Program number
fmt  "O" 7  sub_prg_no$ #Program number
#fmt ":" 7   sub_prg_no$  #Program number

It was me, I hacked that post needlessly

Thanks guys, imma keep plugging at this.

That works much better! Thanks Ron & Reko

Glad to point you in a better direction sir. Someone had to point me in this same direction over 15 years ago.
