Re: [foxboro] how to omset STRING block from dmcmd

I believe the pref command is a broadcast so if you're using
omsetimp to reduce broadcasts, you probably don't want to
use the pref command either.

Display Manager or FoxView

If FoxView, which release?

The alias function in FV will probably be the simplest
solution to your
problem, i.e., it allows you to build quite complicated
generic overlays.


If you need to set a string C:B.P, do this:

dmcmd run /opt/fox/bin/tools/omsetimp -s "<value>" C:B.P

where
   <value> is the string value to set. If it holds blanks,
use the quotes
           shown. Otherwise, they are optional.
   C:B.P   is the parameter to change.

Normally, this line is placed in a script with other lines. 

You have two types of scripts: Shell Scripts and DM scripts

DM Scripts

dmcmd script
dmcmd run /opt/fox/bin/tools/omsetimp -s $P8 C:B.P

or something similar


Alternatively, you have a Shell Script

Assume the script is myScript and it is stored in
/opt/MyScripts. It should
read something like:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /opt/MyScripts/logs
LOG=/opt/MyScripts/logs/`basename $0`
exec >$LOGS 2>&1

DMNAME=$1
VALUE="$2"
CBP="$3"

/usr/local/pref -$DMNAME DMCMD "Setting $CBP"
/opt/fox/bin/tools/omsetimp -s "<value>" C:B.P


You would invoke the script as:

dmcmd run /opt/MyScripts/myScript $DMNAME "<value>" C:B.P

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.

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.
