‘Insert’ ‘Insert Program Call’ or ‘Insert’ ‘Append Program Call’

With these commands you will open the dialog box for entering a program call to a task in the Task Configuration. Each entry in the task configuration tree consists of a symbol () and the program name.

With ‘Insert Program Call’, the new program call is inserted before the selected program call, and with ‘Append Program Call’ the program call is appended to the end of the existing list or program calls.

In the field ‘program call’ specify a valid program name out of your project or open the ‘Edit’ ‘Input Assistant’ with the Select button to select a valid program name. The program name later also can be modified in the configuration tree. For this select the entry and press the <Space> key or just perform a mouseclick to open an editor field. If the selected program requires input variables, then enter these in their usual form and of the declared type (for example, prg(invar:=17)).

The processing of the program calls later in online mode will be done according to their order (top down) in the task editor.

Note

Do not use the same string function in several tasks (see Standard Library), because in this case values might be overwritten during processing of the tasks.
