Re: [foxboro] sendmsg

Raymond,

I believe I gave you bad advice.  Try this instead:

text1 = this is message 1
text2 = this is message 2

buffer  := "text", textnumber;
MESSAGE := 'buffer';
SENDMSG (MESSAGE) TO SN0001 ;

OR:

text1 = this is message 1
text2 = this is message 2

MESSAGE := "text", textnumber;
SENDMSG ('MESSAGE') TO SN0001 ;

The single quotes will cause the string to be evaluated before the rest of
the line is processed.  You may have to experiment with left quotes vs.
right quotes.  I believe they are "right quotes" (apostrophe).

Option #3: You use a different algorithm.

IF textnumber = 1 THEN
  MESSAGE := "this is message 1";
ELSEIF textnumber = 2 THEN
  MESSAGE := "this is message 2";
ENDIF;
SENDMSG (MESSAGE) TO SN0001 ;

Hi list

Need to send a message to a display according to a number that i recieve
I tried the folowing in sequence

text1 = this is message 1
text2 = this is message 2

MESSAGE := text1 ;
SENDMSG (MESSAGE) TO SN0001 ;

In SN0001 appears this is message 1 so far ok


when i change to

MESSAGE := "text",textnumber ;

then in SN0001 appears literal text1 in stead of this is message 1

any ideas
