LVOOP by ref deep case/unbundle structure nesting

Hi,
I have been experimenting with LVOOP for use in a relatively large project. I need lvoop by ref because the lvoop represents a actual object constructed in my dll and by ref implementation lets me keep track if this object is still valid since the ref gets deleted when the object is also deleted in my dll. In addition, the class holds (large) data referred to by many class VIs and it would have been wasteful to make many copies of it.
Anyway, I'm wondering if I'm doing this right because when accessing the class data I need to have deep nested structures and that doesn't seem too right. I'm attaching an example simple vi and a screenshot of the block diagram.
Here are the explanations for the deep structures:
1. Error case struct enclosing the whole block diagram.
2. Unbundle class object to get the DVR (I could possible unbundle this without this structure).
3. Unbundle the DVR to get the actual class cluster.
4. Error case structure in case the last unbundle failed.
5. Finally, unbudndle the class cluster to get the specific data item I want.
Thanks for any help,
Matt

Hey myle00,
This implementation seems fine to me. Is there a reason you are concerned with having too many structures? As you noted, you could unbundle without using the "In Place Element Structure"; however, this structure can make the VI memory usage more efficient. If you are worried about the structures taking up space, you could always make it into a subVI (select the outside structure, go to edit>create subVI). Hope this helps!

Hi,
The usage of the method to convert codepages of structures is described including this code sample:
DATA:BEGIN OF struc,

Many apple phone users are especially fed up with RSGI Communication , Erandwana, Pune, Maharashtra, India.
Their service report No. 36679.
Allthough Mr Punit ( Technical Dept. Apple.) had requested RSGI to chance the device, still RSGI said they do not have the device ( I phone 5, white ,16GB) in stock.
Today when we contacted them they said they won't be able to replace OR order to Apple unless and until we do not keep the device with them for 3 days.
Mr Deepak of Technical Dept Apple was contacted who's telephonic Transript as proof is available with us.

Who exactly are you addressing your screed to

Deep XSD's structure not reflecting in ECC - Proxy code

Dear forum members,
Deep XSD's structure not reflecting in ECC - Proxy code. any suggestion please..
With the help of XSD able to create service Interface - Outbound in PI, the complete structure is visible in PI but in ECC ( Tcode - Sproxy ) unable to view complete structure, top two nodes are visible remaining not reflecting in the ECC system.
Cheers
Rocky

Hi Rocky ,
Regenerate proxy in ECC and check again , structure will reflect.
Note : Whenever we make changes(adding new fields or deletion of existing fields) to Data type / ED in PI . You have to generate the proxy structure (outbound or Inbound) in ECC and activate. Then changes will be reflected in Proxy also.
Thanks

How to refer the fields of a nested structure

Hi friends,
I am facing problem in assigning value to nested structure fields.
I have import parameter in FM which is a Table type and line type (structure).
in this structure there are 4 fields.
Out of these 4 fields 1 is again a table type and line type(structure).
I need to populate this inner structures fields and then assign the values back to main table type.
e.g import parameter is zinput_detail type zdetail.
zdetail is a table type and has zdetail_line as structure.
zdetail_line fields are
salesorder
customer
date
weight is a field here and has table type as type i.e zweights.
again zweights has a line type zweight_line.
fields of zweight_line are
weight1
weight2.
Now i need to populate weight1 and weight 2 and then assign these values back to main field weight.
Kindly let me know, what to declare for referring to the inner structure this and how to access this.
Regards,
pradeep

Hi,
Declare the seperate varible for the inner structure and fill the values in the newly declared struture and assign back to inner structure.
Example
DATA i_zdetail type zdetail with header line.
DATA i_weight type z_weight with header llne.
Fill the i_weight with required values and then
i_zdetails-weight[] = i_weight[].

Case Structure Nested in a For Loop

I have two pumps. I want one pump to be running and the other pump to be off. Then as soon as the first pump stops I want the other pump to start. I'd like this process to repeat as many times as I want. The code I have now uses a case structure inside a for loop. When the iteration is odd it is false and even is true this determines what case is carried out. Right now I have a code that can turn on one pump, stop it, and immediately start the second. However, after the second pump stops the first one does not start again. I've changed the number of iterations and I can't seem to get the process to continue. The program keeps running but the pumps stop doing anything. Attached is a file of my code as well as two image files (one showing true case and other showing false) of the same code.
Attachments:
Test Code 1.vi ‏31 KB
Case if True.png ‏37 KB
Case if False.png ‏35 KB

Your code has an inner while loop that checks for the status of the pump. Since you set up a target volume before the while loops start, I assume that it is what the status checks to determine when to stop the while loop.
When the the second iteration ends, has the volume for the first pump changed at all? If it is still the same, then the status is still at the target which means it will immediately stop after starting. You may also want to put some small wait statements inside the inner while loops so that the status isn't checked as fast as the CPU will allow it to run eating up CPU cycles.

Case and decode - nested functions

Can i use a case statement inside a decode or nvl2 function?
eg.
decode(col_a,'ABC',
case when col_b in (1,2) then 'CCC' else when col_b in (3,4,5) then 'XXX' end
, 'NA')
Can i use a function like this basically, can i nest a case statement within a decode or nvl2 function?
I have used nested decodes and nvls and nested case statements but not combined both so far.... so need an opinion...
Thanks.

REF TO DATA to Structure

Hi Folks!
I got a little problem with moving data.
I'm using ref to data for a general data definition. Unfortunately after I create the data using a certain type, let's say 'A', I cant move the data of the created data to a structure of type 'A'. (It can also be type 'B'; that depends on the user input; thats why I am using ref to data).
Is there a way to move the data from the cre3ated structure to the static type structure?
I'm looking forward to reading from you
Best Regards!

Hey Kamil,
You can use a field symbol to move the data like this:
data: dyn_struc type ref to data.
stat_struc type A.
field-symbols <fs> type data.
create data dyn_struc type A.
assign dyn_struc->* to <fs>.
stat_struc = <fs>.
Of course, this will only work if dyn_struc was actually created with type A. Otherwise, the last line will cause a runtime error.
Best regards,
Erik

SWF file contains ref. to local dir structure

Newbie here; sorry.
Flash CS4 Professional, ver. 10
Am creating a simple flash video to get my feet wet. In the
process, I am drowning.
I created the video with Flash (ActionScript 3.0) by
inserting a player object, and specifying a f4v source that I had
created using the CS4 Media Encoder to convert a wmv file; nothing
to it.
Publish Preview worked fine. Publish Settings/Publish created
the necessary files, just as decribed in a Flash 411 tutorial:
http://tv.adobe.com/?trackingid=EBYHH&pss=fl_10.0.0_win_en_full__PF_20040226#vi+f1527v1000 .
Video works fine on my local PC (XP, SP2). But when I load it
to my server, it does not work. In IE 7, the page loads; source
code is there, but the window is blank:
http://www.bbhq.us/pva1.html
Adding mime type to .htaccess file did not solve the problem.
Changing permissions to the files did not, either.
It apparently is not a server problem. A simple swf file
created by Mr. Gates and simple HTM coding works:
http://www.bbhq.us/flash3.htm
What does Mr. Gates know that I do not?
Well, where do I begin???
However, when I loaded my file --
http://www.bbhq.us/pva1.html
-- in FireFox 2.0, I got a blank window, but also this revealing
error message:
SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file
http://www.bbhq.us/pva1.swf
cannot access
local resource F:\pva1\pva0117a.f4v. Only
local-with-filesystem and
trusted local SWF files may access local resources.

http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::_load()
at fl.video::VideoPlayer/load()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/doContentPathConnect()
That tells me that the swf file has my original directory
location and file name(s) -- F:\pva1\... -- embedded in it. No
wonder!
However, I cannot see where in Flash I specify a directory
structure for my video, other than, of course, when I originally
specified the video to add to the player component. But somehow,
the swf file picks up the directory structure as part of the file
names. That boat does not float.
Adobe help did not throw me a life preserver; it tossed me a
lead weight, instead.
Must be a settings issue somewhere, or I am missing something
obvious that I just cannot see.
Goin' down here for the 3d time. A little help here, please.
Thanks.

Thanks for your quick response. But it left me still treading
water.
Yep; got to the content inspector; The parameters that I see
are as follows:
align
autoplay
cuepoints
islove
preview
scalemode
skin
skinautohide
skinbackgroundalpha
skinbackgrundcolor
source
volume
There is no contentpath parameter/property.
This help page references the contentpath that you
referenced:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flash/10.0_UsingFlash/WS0ED77F00-2006-49aa-8399-92B6D5D8CE00.h tml#WS9A834D6F-8206-4e07-B840-456EF90C03CB
It describes the contentpath as you suggested:
"contentPath (AS2 files) String that specifies the URL to an
FLV"
The reference to AS2 in parens suggests that this parameter
applies only to AS2 files. Or, perhaps this parameter is not
applicable in CS4, version 10. I donno, but I sure do not see it in
my version of Flash.
However, you and the the help page did throw me a lifeline.
WIth the f4v file already loaded on my server, I modified my
project, specifying, as the source parameter, the name of my fv4
file as it is loaded on the server -- http:www.myserver...fv4 --
not the file on my local PC. So when Flash published the project,
it uses that name, with no reference to my local directory..
Of course, the f4v file must exist on the server for it to
publish properly.
That did it.
It makes sense, but it is certainly not obvious and it is not
explained in any documentation I have found.
Am I the only one to whom this was not obvious?
Thanks; you led me to a solution.

It took me some time to figure what you are trying to do but I think I have it now.
The SR is still required.
What is happening is your "Bundle By Name" is replacing all of the fields of the cluster, not just the value coming out of the case structure. So to maintain the cluster stuff you do in earlier iterations you can either...
1) Put the "Index array, Bundle by name, and Replace array" inside the case structure and ONLY bundle the value you are setting in that iteration. (as you will see Tim post shortly)
OR
2) Move the Index array before the Case, unbundle all of the fields and feed teh case structure and run them across the case so that ALL of your output tunnels come from the coresponding input tunnel EXCEPT for the filed you are trying to set.

Fill deep output Structure of Enterprise Service

Hello at all,
I created an Enterprise Service which contains an Input and Output Structure.
My Problem is, that the Output structure is very deep and this structure contains tabletyps and further structures.
How can I fill a field of the Output structure?
I almost use the Method "describe_by_name", which gives me the components of the "first-Level-structure (lt_components).
Lt_components is filled with different components and types, for example "TTYPE" or "STRU".
One Component of type TTYPE contains a further structure, ... and so on.
At the End of this deep structure (up to 9 Levels) are fields with type of string.
How can I fill These fields?
I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Andreas O.
Attached you will find a small example.

Hello Andreas,
You can access deep structure like the you access flat structure fields but with some restrictions.
One of things to take care is use the compatible type for the component that is being accessed.
This link will help you ABAP Keyword Documentation
As per you screen shot below statement can be used to access first table.
Table type <tt> = output-getOrderResponse-<Structure1>-<table1>

Using nested Event Structures

Hi ,
I wanna clarify whether using nested event structures in a vi is good Labview programming ?
I have a vi which has two event structures nested,assuming it has two buttons GO1 and GO2.
The outer event structure handles event triggered by GO1 and inner event structure handles Go2.
The outer structure does fine by handling the button click on GO1,the problem is inability of inner
event structure to handle click on GO2 button.
I'm also attaching a sample.vi for reference.It would be great if you could help me
solve this issue.Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nalin

You can actually make this work, but like the others, I don't recommend it.
To make your VI work. Right click on the "GO1" structure and select "Edit Events.....". At the bottom of the dialog, there is a checkbox that reads "Lock Front Panel until the event case for this event completes". With this checked, all front panel objects are locked until the GO1 event completes. This is what is causing the GO2 button not to work. Uncheck this and your application will work as you want it to.
If your intent is to have GO2 disabled until you click GO1, try the attached VI. It uses property nodes to disable the GO2 button until you click the GO1.
Another thing that you have setup that doesn't look necessary is the Timeout event, especially set to 1ms. The basic idea of the Event Structure is to not have to constantly poll for front panel events. If you just deleted the timeout event cases and removed the 1ms constant, your application would just well, but would just sit and wait for you to click a button.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

I have been trying to use a case when structure inside a cursor in a stored procedure with regular expressions in it, but its throwing compilation error.

If no limitation like that, then will try again to debug it.
