Issue
- SNVT_str_asc (ASCII string) is being brought into/sent out of Menta.
- SNVT output for "location" required by job specs.
- What are the capabilities for handling ASCII strings in Menta?
Environment
- Menta 5
- SNVT_str_asc
Cause
Menta does not have a very robust ASCII string handling, but it can be done.
Resolution
Menta can use special modes on the PIDI block to encode/decode ASCII characters into decimal character values. Macro libraries exist to perform these actions:
- Right click in the white space in Menta and select "Load Macro..."
-
Navigate to Macro Block Library > Miscellaneous > SNVT
- Load str_asc_OUT2.AUT for an example of outputting a SNVT_str_asc
- Load str_asc_IN343.AUT for an example of inputting a SNVT_str_asc
-
Different string handling applications are available:
- Str_asc_IN3.AUT
- Str_asc_IN248.AUT
- Str_asc_INtext.AUT
- Str_asc_OUT2.AUT
- Str_asc_to_str_int.AUT
- Str_int_IN_OUT1.AUT
- Str_int_IN343.AUT
- Str_int_OUT2.AUT
- Str_int_to_str_asc.AUT
