How can I pass arguments to a TestStand sequence with LabWindows 6 ?

Hi
I have created sequences in a TestStand file.
I want to program a sequence with Labwindows 6 which would call all these existing sequences (containing parameters).
I don't have any problems to create the steps "SequenceCall" but i don't know how to pass arguments to the sequences with the TS API.
I have used the look-up strings "TS.SData.SFPath", "TS.SData.SeqName", "TS.SData.ThreadOpt" to program the sequence file / sequence and the multithread option. But now how to program the arguments passing ? I think there is something with the lookup string "ST.SData.ActualArgs"...
Thank u very much for any help

I'm not sure if you want to pass values from TestStand to LabWindows or if you want to pass values in TestStand from a sequence call step to a called sequence.
To get TestStand variables from LabWIndows, use the following function:
tsErrChk (TS_PropertyGetValNumber(testData->seqContextCVI, &errorInfo, "Locals.StartPoint", 0, &dStartPt));
iStartPt = (int)dStartPt;
The TS_PropertyGetValNumber gets the TestStand variable Locals.StartPoint and puts it into the LabWindows variable called dStartPoint. Numbers to and from Test Stand are always a double type. The next line converts it to an integer.
To put a LabWindows value to TestStand, use TS_PropertyPutValNumber.
To pass values from a sequence call step to a called sequence, create variables in the Parameters t
ab on your main sequence. Create same variables on the Parameters tab of the called sequence. In main, specify module to be called in calling step. There is a paramters section on the Edit Sequence Call dialog box which appears. Check the Use Prototype of the Selected Sequence box. You can then list all the parameter variables in the parameters section.
Hope this is what you want.

How do I pass arguments to a TestStand sequence from an operator interface written in LabWindows?

I intend to use TS_EngineNewExecution() which takes a VARIANT parameter for the arguments.
I have only found example code for C++ where a propertyObject containing the arguments is converted to a VARIANT using the constructor of the _variant_t class.
How do I accomplish this in LabWindows?

Hi webprofile,
I did not extensively test this code, but based on the previous posts, this is what the function might look like (I bolded the changes from what ships by default):
TERetval Eng_BeginSeqExecution(tSeqFileRec *seqFileRec, // must NOT be NULL
                               tSeqRec *seqRec,            // must NOT be NULL

    HRESULT res = 0;
    ERRORINFO errorInfo;
    TEBool errorOccurred = FALSE;

    VARIANT editArgsVar;
    CAObjHandle editArgsH = 0;
    CAObjHandle params = 0;
    LPDISPATCH dispPtr; // varible used to convert parameters from CAObjHandle to Variant
    // Create container that will hold two parameters. First parameter is a number, second is a string.
    oleErrChkReportErrInfo(TS_EngineNewPropertyObject (sTEEngineObj, &errorInfo, TS_PropValType_Container, VFALSE, "", 0,&params));
    TS_PropertySetValNumber (params, &errorInfo, "Param1", 1, 45);
    TS_PropertySetValString (params, &errorInfo, "Param2", 1, "This is a string");
    // Converts CAObjHandle to Dispatch pointer
    TERetChk(CA_GetDispatchFromObjHandle (params, &dispPtr));
    TERetChk(CreateEditArgsObj(0, seqFileRec->seqFileH, seqRec->seqH, checkedStepList, &editArgsH));

How can I pass multiple condition in where clause with the join table?

Hi:
I need to collect several inputs at run time, and query the record according to the input.
How can I pass multiple conditions in where clause with the join table?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
TD

If you are using SQL-Plus or Reports you can use lexical parameters like:
SELECT * FROM emp &condition;
When you run the query it will ask for value of condition and you can enter what every you want. Here is a really fun query:
SELECT &columns FROM &tables &condition;
But if you are using Forms. Then you have to change the condition by SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY.
Best of luck!

How can I pass arguments from one MIDlet to another MIDlet

Hi everybody !
Can anybody help me in knowing that how can I pass the parameters from one
MIDlets to another one in same application.
I am devloping a application in which I am using more than two MIDlet and I
want to transfer Parameter from one MIDlet to another one.
I just explain what I have done....
I made a MIDlet "A" and "B" in the same project using NetBeans IDE.
In MIDlet "A" I create the Object of MIDlet "B" so that the constructor of
MIDlet "B" is called and parameter can be transferred.
But when I run the program it shows me two MIDlet on the screen, that I
doesn't need.
Suggestion are most welcome....
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bhagwat

If you create two MIDlet in a midlet suite, it will display as you mentioned means you can't change the display style.

How can we pass argument to static block of code????

hi ,
My question is we can use static initialization block for having functionality like constructors for initializing static variable ,but we cannot pass arguments to static initialization block then how can I create functionality like parametrized constructors.Whats the alternative shall I use a static method to perform this functionality,since all methods in given class are static and
there is no need of creating instance of class.

Hello Jussi,Salut Jérôme
That's probably a more maintenable design.
However what do you base your remark on - I'm struck by the word obviously?
Is there some design principle from which this advice so naturally ensues that it is obvious ?Yes I read my posting later on and thought about changing it, since it's not necessarily an obvious solution. I was making assumptions that I didn't clarify from the OP.
In the OP's case, the "state" on which those methods operate is apparently fixed, presumably at the beginning of the program, so what's wrong with all this staticness?
I can list:
- threading issues (a non-issue after some initialization phase), that you wouldn't have with immutable instances
- harder unit-testing (that's not an OO design problem, more a methodology problem)
- mix and confusion between static and non-static state if the class ever happens to have both, in future maintenance. All good points, I see all-static classes as a "code smell" and especially in this case when there's parametrization involved.
Now we just need to have the OP explain his situation a bit better.

How can I pass a value to the command prompt?

I was wondering how can I pass a value to the command prompt with Windows and Linux? I'm more interested in Linux's system than Windows though. Is there a way to return info from the command prompt?

Here is a snippet from http://mindprod.com/jglossexec.html that explains how in detail.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("myprog.exe") will spawn an external process that runs in parallel with the Java execution. In Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, you must use an explicit *.exe or *.com extension on the parameter. It is also best to fully qualify those names so that the system executable search path is irrelevant, and so you don't pick up some stray program off the path with the same name.
To run a *.BAT, *.CMD, *.html *.BTM or URL you must invoke the command processor with these as a parameter. These extensions are not first class executables in Windows. They are input data for the command processor. You must also invoke the command processor when you want to use the < > | piping options, Here's how, presuming you are not interested in looking at the output:
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("cmd.exe /E:1900 /C MyCmd.cmd" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("C:\\4DOS601\\4DOS.COM /E:1900 /C MyBtm.btm" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("D:\\4NT301\\4NT.EXE /E:1900 /C MyBtm.btm" );
There are also overloaded forms of exec(),
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat", null);
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat", null, "C:\\SomeDirectory");
The second argument can be a String [], and can be used to set environment variables. In the second case, "C:\\SomeDirectory" specifies a directory for the process to start in. If, for instance, your process saves files to disk, then this form allows you to specify which directory they will be saved in.
Windows and NT will let you feed a URL string to the command processor and it will find a browser, launch the browser, and render the page, e.g.
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com http://mindprod.com/projects.html" );
Another lower level approach that does not require extension associations to be quite as well set up is:
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://mindprod.com/projects.html" );
Note that a URL is not the same thing as a file name. You can point your browser at a local file with something like this: file://localhost/E:/mindprod/jgloss.html or file:///E|/mindprod/jgloss.html.
Composing just the right platform-specific command to launch browser and feed it a URL to display can be frustrating. You can use the BrowserLauncher package to do that for you.
Note that
rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler file:///E|/mindprod/jgloss.html
won't work on the command line because | is reserved as the piping operator, though it will work as an exec parameter passed directly to the rundll32.exe executable.
With explicit extensions and appropriately set up associations in Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP you can often bypass the command processor and invoke the file directly, even *.bat.
Similarly, for Unix/Linux you must spawn the program that can process the script, e.g. bash. However, you can run scripts directly with exec if you do two things:
Start the script with #!bash or whatever the interpreter's name is.
Mark the script file itself with the executable attribute.
Alternatively start the script interpreter, e.g.
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec (new String[]{"/bin/sh", "-c", "echo $SHELL"}";

How can I pass an object to a function by value?

Hi
I have a function with an argument. this argument is an object. I don't want to alter this object. But java passes this object by reference and some fields in this object are altered after function return.
How can I pass this object by value and keep my original data unbroken?
thanks for any help

How can I pass this object by value and keep my original data unbroken?How you approach it is likely to depend on how much control you have over the code in question. If it's legacy code and has been badly designed, there's probably very little you can do to protect existing code short of a complete refactoring.
What you could do as an interim measure is:
1. Create an immutable wrapper to your existing mutable class.
2. Create new methods that replicate the existing ones, but take the immutable class instead.
3. Deprecate the old methods.
This won't break client code, but they will now get warnings when they compile and you can add documentation to point them to the new class/methods.
If you are in control of the code (especially if you're still in the design stages), you've got several options:
1. As Dr.Clap says, make your class immutable (probably best).
2. If this isn't possible, create mutable and immutable variants of your class. This is often best achieved by hanging them both from an interface.

I have added the field into both the HTM views and able to execute thru WebClient. However, I have one problem in passing the <status> value from BupaSearchB2B view to the BupaCreate view when I click on the 'create' button.
I do search and saw this thread How can I pass field value beetwen view in IC Web Client? , but i cant figure out how it works.
Do I need to create the field <status> to context note CUSTOMER in BupaSearchB2B? Currently the context note does not have any attributes.
Really appreciate for any help.

How can I pass an empty array to a parameter of type PLSQLAssociativeArray

How can I pass an empty array to a parameter of type PLSQLAssociativeArray in VB? I defined the parameter like this
Dim myArray() as String = new String() {}
Dim myPara as new Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray
myPara = 0
myPara.Value = myArray
When I execute my stored procedure giving the above parameter, I got error saying OracleParameter.Value is invalid.
I have tried to give it the DBNull.Value, but it doesn't work either.
Note: everything works fine as long as myArray has some item in there. I just wonder how I can make it works in case I have nothing.
Thank you,

How can i pass the Input value to the sql file in the korn shell ??

Hi,
How can i pass the Input value to the sql file in the korn shell ??
I have to pass the 4 different values to the sql file and each time i pass the value it has to generate the txt file for that value like wise it has to generate the 4 files at each run.
can any one help me out.
Raja

Can you please more elaberate., perhaps you should more elaberate.
sqlplus is a program. you start it from the korn shell. when it's finished, processing control returns to the korn shell. the korn shell and sqlplus do not communicate back and forth.
so "spool the output from .sql file to some txt file from k shell, while passing the input parameters to the sql file from korn shell" makes no sense.

How can i pass more than 1 param to servlet to show blob image

Hi
my servlet expects 2 param to SELECt an image from a blob column
public class ImageBlobServlet extends HttpServlet {

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,

"RHH_FOTOS IMG " +
"where IMG.IDASSO = ? and IMG.TIM_COA = ?");
statement.setInt(1, new Integer(ImageId));
statement.setString(2, TipImg);
To display the image i tried to use:
<af:image id="ot1"
*source="/imageblobservlet?id=#{bindings.Con.inputValue}?tip=#{"EMP"}"*
shortDesc="Foto"/>
but i receive all content in the get of first param.
String ImageId = request.getParameter("id");
How can i pass one more then 1 param in EL.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
seems to me you're using wrong separator for the second param into your URL:
<af:image id="ot1" source="/imageblobservlet?id=#{bindings.Con.inputValue}
tip=#{"EMP"}" shortDesc="Foto"/>
I think it should be:
<af:image id="ot1" source="/imageblobservlet?id=#{bindings.Con.inputValue}
tip=#{"EMP"}" shortDesc="Foto"/>

How can I pass data generated in a SubVI inside a Case Structure out of the Case Structure?

Hello,
I am using a USB 2701 to control a heater. I have three SubVIs that are all working properly on their own. I'd like to use an Enum to select which of the SubVIs is running at a given time. The problem is that no data is passing out of the case structure. How can I pass the temperatures and heater outputs acquired by the SubVIs to the main VI? I've attached my some of my code below. I can't attach more than 3 files, but you can see how the main VI is configured. Like I said, the SubVIs are working individually, so you shouldn't really need to look at them.
Thank you,

CJones,
You might check a couple of things.
Your HeaterTCD... VI has a While loop with a stop button condition. HeaterTCD pass out values only when it finishes running. If it doesn't pop open the front panel (which usually doesn't happen when running a SubVI) you could run into a stuck loop because you don't have access to the Stop button. This could appear in the form of no data being passed out (because the SubVI never stops running). The primary VI opens the HeaterTCD VI, starts it, and waits for the VI to finish and pass final values .
Secondary note: Unless you want your SubVI panel (which probably isn't open when running the main VI) to update continuously, consider moving your Temperature Graph and Temperature oC indicators outside the while loop. Pass final values to them via a tunnel, since the main VI will only read their values after the loop finishes running, anyway.
It might help to add error management to HeaterTCD like you have for RampHeater. If you connect error lines with Error Outs to your main VI, that will help tell if there is an error somewhere that is preventing info output.
RampHeater SubVI has the same issue with the stop button. It is also probably getting stuck in the While loop waiting for a manual push of that SubVI's Stop button.
An easy way to test this would be to set up a logic circuit so that when the While loop iteration counter reaches a certain number, it registers True and sends it to the conditional. I know this isn't what you want to do long-term, but if that lets your SubVI return outputs it means that the SubVI was just never stopping.
Hope that helps.
