Lee,

 

Try the following lines in place of #var2= and #var3=.  This will prompt you with the current drive and dir that you can change.  Note this will not check that the drive and dir are valid if you make a change.  If you have specific rules as to what the drive and directory are going to be you can use the STRSUB() command to make the changes.  Hope this helps.

 

#var2=GET_NAME(STRIP_EXT(#var1))

#var3=GET_PATH(#var1)

PROMPT[TX="Is this the correct Drive Dir?", VN="var3", LR=15,LC=15]
#var3=STRTMP("%#var3%#var2.FAD")

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] change path macro

this macro runs just fine, it creates a code file at the same location (on our network) as the current model file. I would like to output the code file into another drive and folder on our network. What would be the best way to control the new file location (path).

 I spent some time adding a PROMPT to the macro with a request for a user variable that defined the new path but had no luck.

 I am new at working with macro's so please be patient and very descriptive.

STRING: #var1
STRING: #var2
STRING: #var3
STRING: #var4
STRING: #var5
STRING: #var6

//FADAL
#var1=JOB FILE()
#var2=STRIP_EXT(#VAR1)
#var3=STRTMP("%#var2.FAD")
CODE[FN=#var3, MF="v:\msmf\v5_FADAL.SMF", TF="v:\msmf\v5_FADAL.TMP",
    SH=0, DC=0, ST=0, DT=0, SP=9]
