We use software from Talsoft to document our interlocks. Nice feature of this program is that it also allows us to look up c:b:p references/links in sequences (both in code, defines and includes), in all blocks and in displays. Usually when I want to delete a block I first download the data from DCS, then let the program check for references from /to this block and I get a very reliable listing of all blocks related to the block I want to delete. Makes life so much easier. It's a pitty Foxboro doesn't have nice tools like that. Rgds, Dirk Pauwels - DCS/MOC coordinator=20 Engineering dept.

I've always=20 been most uncomfortable about deleting blocks because I cant be sure I've=20 removed all of the threads. To check IND sequence code I go to /opt/fox/ciocfg and grep BLOCKNAME=20 */*.s which sniffs out the code references, then I use a fresh FoxCAE=20 image to look at the block to be deleted, this shows me any continuous=20 connections (I might miss some if I havent refreshed all my CP images, but=20 we generally keep control connections within one CP, ish). The irksome bit that remains is the Graphics, DM or Foxview, does anybody=20 have an easy surefire way to scan graphic files for block references ?
