variable"]

JOS_CONTEXT_CLOSE[]
I can place a string variable in the nc_file data tag
via a macro using the STRTMP command. When I do a
process code it will code to that file.
I've entered info in all the feilds in the Job Information
section of the JOS planner and recorded the results.
No "nc_file" data tag shows up.
Does this mean I'm out of luck?
This is what appears when I read a JOF file into Edit Plus.
header = 0
[
app_type = "4"
def_bldstmp = "wjpage.def - Tue May 28 14:04:45 PDT 1996"
file = "w:\\ag1000\\AG0001A.jof"
rev = "2"
section = "5010101"
units = "0"
version = "2.0"
]
job_info = 0
[
created = "03/03/89"
creator = ""
nc_date = "06/22/01"
nc_file = "w:\\ag1000\\AG0001A" <-- this is the puppy I'm after!
nc_runtime = "2.36"
nc_size = "1032"
nc_time = "02:46PM"
notes = "BLOUNT OF CANADA\n\n\n\n\nTHIS IS A GENERIC JOB PLAN FOR ALL
AGIES\n\n\n\n\n\nT50=.1 dia. is for finding geometry breaks...\n\n\n\n"
pm_file = ""
prt_desc = ""
rev_date = "06/22/01"
section = "5010102"
How do I get that nc_file extracted into a string variable?

Yes, you can extract file names and paths from the planner. You can also
extract various values to build a string. First you have to look at what
information is available in the planner. Viewing one in a text editor may
help. Then you must determine how you would like to use it to build your
file string.

Use the Data Tag nc_file from the Job Operations Setup???
Open the appropriate BASEITEM and evaluate the file name as a string
variable? If that is possible?
Hmmm...maybe the user input is the better way togo.

The string that makes up the path must be based on something. Where is this
information to come from if not from a user input?

In the sample macro below is there a way to have it automatically
assign the Drive, Path and Filename to a string variable.
i.e.: w:\ag4000\ag4052
Then have it save the file using the
SAVE[FN="string variable goes here", FT=0, GS=1, WP="XY_PLANE"]
Can this be done with no user input via the PAUSE or PROMPT commands.

Once again any help is appreciated.
