PCM IF/THEN

[[Cl...]]

I need the operator to be prompted with two choices. One; Is the a set-up part?" Two; Is this approved for production?"
Based on each question the resultant data would then be sent to one file for a set-up and a different file for production.
I'm assuming it would and "If - Then" type formula?

[[Er...]]

I don't really understand what the question is. But you wish to do something along this line?

if inquireList("It this..","Production","Set-up") == "Set-up"
	pathForResult="c:\..."
else
	pathForResult="d:\..."
endif

Yes. I want each prompted choice to sent the variable data to a different location/Folder.

[[Er...]]

Depending on what your "variable data" is, you have what you need. If you instantly wish to write to file.

You can use:

addToFile("path",variable)

Mainly we use the compact printout (all characteristics) & occasionally excel.

Aha, then I see, so you need to change the output directory you have set in "Name for output files"..

That's doable. But I suggets you copy the files to the correct location after creation. (Less confusing and more understandable how it works.)

As usual there's several ways. One of many is to add this to your inspection_end_pcm.txt.

if inquireList("It this..","Production","Set-up") == "Set-up"
	copyFile("...\results\whatever.pdf","\Setup\theresults.pdf")
else
	copyFile("...\results\whatever.pdf","\Production\theresults.pdf")
endif

I've heard that that file might be executed with a delay, never used it my self so I cant tell. But try it.

Is this what it would look like

Presetting's

if inquireList("It this..","Production","Set-up") == "Set-up"


Post settings

copyFile("...\results\whatever.pdf","\Setup\theresults.pdf")
else
copyFile("...\results\whatever.pdf","\Production\theresults.pdf")
endif

[[Er...]]

No, don't use pre- or post-settings. It's a .txt-file that you place in your measument plan folder, (or the inspection folder if you wish to apply on ALL plans.) Name it "inspection_end_pcm.txt" and paste all of it there. Lean back, open a beer ans donate a dollar for kids cancer research.

Thanks. I donate to the "Human Fund", which is ran by George Costanza.

I hate the Seinfeld show, guess I'm to young to understand what's supposed to be fun with it... 😃

The show is like Trump, in that, you either like it, or hate it.
