Hello Ken :

From  FoxDoc (oh, sorry...I mean Invensys Doc) B0193DF,  Rev K  - Displa=
=3D
y Manager Commands, Chapter 11 under =3D20

''wp51_gbls.* File Syntax''

it alludes to the need to specify the name and size of a read-only varia=
=3D
ble.  In our case, the read-only variable is ''OJLOG'' and we want to di=
=3D
sable, enable, etc. it .

Excerpt from FoxDoc :

The syntax of a read-only variable specification is:

     XXXXXX=3D3D<value>

     where

          XXXXXX is the name of the variable

          <value> is the value to be assigned to the variable. <value> c=
=3D
an be blank.

Specifying a read-write variable requires two pieces of information: the=
=3D
 size of the variable and its name.

     gctsize=3D3D<size>

     where

          gctsize is a reserved word, indicating the size (in characters=
=3D
) of the read-write variable.

          <size> is the size (in characters) of the next set of read-wri=
=3D
te variables. The maximum size is 255.

The syntax of a read-write variable is:

     dmtlist=3D3D<variable(s)> =3D20

     where

          dmtlist is a reserved word, indicating that a list of read-wri=
=3D
te variables follows

          <variable(s)> is a list of read-write variable names. A separa=
=3D
te variable is created for each configured display
          manager name. The maximum length of the variable name is eight=
=3D
 characters.

Best regards,
Richard

Thanks for all the replies,

Can you decode the entries:

gctsize=3D3D14

dmlist=3D3DOJLOG

What does what to what?

(Richard, The e-mail system is throwing extra
characters into your messages (the '3D' that
shows up after every '=3D3D' sign.)

As such, it should look like this)

> Try :
>
> OJLOG=3D3DDLP01, Ehist01  (you have this already)
> gctsize=3D3D14            (add this with no spaces
>                           within the statement)
> dmtlist=3D3DOJLOG         (add this with no spaces
>                           within the statement)


However, at least since 6.1, the 'gctsize' and 'dmlist'
lines are in the tail end of file 'wp_51glbls.all',
which is the Foxboro def's, processed before the
file 'init.user'.  As such, I'd have thought that
this variable creation step shouldn't be needed.

That being said, however, we tested it on a 6.2
AW51 (just did it).  Without the 'gctsize' and
'dmtsize', the variable is not changed to what's
in the 'init.user' file; rather it retains what's
in the standard definition ( OLOG=3D3DDLP00,Dqualdb ).

Learn something new every day.

Also seems in out test we see that the D or  E preceeding
the printer name or historian name is operating
to cause Disable or Enable, so use of a fake printer
or historian name is'nt indicataed.  Just use D to
disable, and E to enable.

Any questions about how the string should form
up can be answered by setting the options like
you want then using the 'OperActJournal' pick
under the 'Config' menu.  Then use the VT100
mode and type 'pref -DMNAME OJLOG' to see how
it built the string.  Copy this into the
init.user file.
