Program Comment

How do I print the contents of a string variable in a report comment?
for instance:

V1 = FAI

COMMENT/REPT,"ALIGNMENT EQUALS "V1 - does not work

I want, in report:
ALIGNMENT EQUALS FAI

My intent is to set V1 in various alignment programs (FAI, Manufacturing, etc.)
Then run one set of inspection points and print a report that indicates which alignment was used.

Russel please try this:
COMMENT/REPT,"ALIGNMENT EQUALS " +V1 (space then +sign)
Maq

You can turn on the alingments to show in your report in "Prefereces" "Edit Window Layout" "Report"

[J Temmen]

Russel please try this:
COMMENT/REPT,"ALIGNMENT EQUALS " +V1 (space then +sign)
Maq

If you want a space between EQUALS and the variable then the space needs to captured within the "", you don't actually need one between " and the + sign.

[RussL]

I had tried the + sign.
It returns a value of 0 (zero), yet V1 = "FAI"
All I can figure is the + sign is used for numerical variables only.

Have you switched over to REPORT mode and/or closed and reopened your program after doing the above mentioned? Because it should work.
