Setting FM Values

Anonymous
Not applicable
This is probably quite simple, but this late in the day it's killing me. I want to set one of the FM parameters using the following line:

FM_InventoryNumber = sPrefix + sGauge + sSuffix

Assume all of the variables are set to string values. Where should I put this line? I put it in the Master Script, but it doesn't fill the parameter. I tried the Parameter Script, but that didn't work either. Where should it go?

Put the keyword PARAMETERS in front of the line in the Parameter Script. See the GDL Reference Manual (8.0/8.1) page 108 - section 10.2 ... or the old 6.5 manual page 163 section 9.2.

Jay,

just put this line into the parameter script:

PARAMETERS FM_InventoryNumber = sPrefix + sGauge + sSuffix

that will do

(assumingly sPrefix, sGauge, sSuffix are string variables)
