OOPS, should have mentioned that "=3D P8 string" works to store the = string in the P8 variable. But because I have 20 tanks on one display then I cannot use P8 to subsequently display/update the graphic -- because all 20 tanks go to the same string (ie, product name) which is wrong. But I do have 20 STRING blocks. So I tried to send the contents of P8 to a specific STRING.VALUE, but not working. -----Original Message----- From: Liptock, Sheri A - Eastman=20 Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 4:32 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] how to omset STRING block from dmcmd Hi, Need action of an object to set the .VALUE of a string block. "=3D3D" or "subst" DO NOT appear to work. =3D20 However omset from $prompt does, but would prefer dmcmd to set the string. Please help, anyone. Thanks very much. I have talked with several at TAC and they proposed the omset script. =20 =20 _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
