Sorry about this this is my mistake. I copied and corrected what had been
posted originally, instead of checking it more closely, and I missed
something. All of the *Attribute functions are deprecated, and we¹re
supposed to use *Variable functions instead. For example
$SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/CA/Procedures/GetEventAttribute.xml says not to use it
anymore, and instead use GetEventVariable.
Be careful when replacing these calls, since some parameters have change.
For example, GetEventVariableList() takes a parameter, where
GetEventAttributeList() does not. Here¹s how this procedure should look:
0xffff0001 P "CreateEventWithVariables( \
> {C CURRENT_MODEL}, \
> {H 0xffff0002}, \
> SetEventVariable( \
> GetEventVariableList( { C CURRENT_EVENT } ), \
> { H 0x12b4c }, \
> Append ( \
> Append ( \
> GetEventVariable( {U 1} ), \
> { S \" \" } \
> ), \
> GetEventVariable( {U 7} ) \
> ) \
> ) \
> )"
The really frustrating thing is that I took what Dave and I had posted,
loaded them both into my SpectroServer, and didn¹t get any errors in my
EventDisp log! It just silently fails like Dave saw.
I hope that this helps everyone, and that I didn¹t waste too much of your
time chasing bugs.
