Using Assign & Labels - Auto Updating Comment

[JayKin]

Hi folks,

Apologies if this query is answered in a previous post, I did look, honest.
I may have been using the wrong search terms.

I'm having issues with a variable inspection program I'm writing.
I'm using something along the lines of (see below)

C100 =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
DO YOU WISH TO CHECK LIST A FEATURES
ASSIGN/V1=C100.INPUTVALUE
IF_GOTO/V1==1,GOTO = L1
IF_GOTO/V1==2,GOTO = L2
L1 =LABEL/

L2 is then further down the program where a second YESNO request is inserted so we can jump past other features that we don't want measure or report, which we click yes or no on can vary greatly dependant on the part.

My issue is that when I'm placing multiple of these (what I will call) Jumpers, I'm seeing that sometimes the Labels or the C100.inputvalue is changing automatically on ones I have already placed.

Which means I have to go back to the YESNO's in my program and manually change them back to what they were when I put them there.
So if I say that the example used above is C100, when I add a few more that original C100 changes to C101, C102, C103 etc, based on how many more I insert.

Not too much of a problem when I have two or three but more than a little frustrating when I have 12 of them.

Is there an auto index setting I'm missing?

Thanks in advance

Why not do it like this
C100 =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
DO YOU WISH TO CHECK LIST A FEATURES
IF_GOTO/V1=="YES",GOTO = L1
IF_GOTO/V1=="NO",GOTO = L2
L1 =LABEL/

[louisd]

you mean this ? V1 isn't defined
C100 =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
DO YOU WISH TO CHECK LIST A FEATURES
IF_GOTO/C100=="YES",GOTO = L1
IF_GOTO/C100=="NO",GOTO = L2
L1 =LABEL/

Sometimes the simpler way is the best way, I'll give that a try.
It would save messing around with assignments if it works, thanks!

Update -

Worked a treat, save me mucking about with V's so I'm all for that.

Thank you

louisd : In the first post, V1=C100.INPUTVALUE...... I think C100.INPUT is enough !

[mckenzie]

i thought if it was an input comment .input is correct. if its a yes/no comment then .inputvalue is required because the output is either a 1 or a 2

[louisd]

yeah, if op retains v1 it works. @BKulpa's post excluded assigning V1 from the code example. yeah, I missed ".input" I wasn't sure if .input worked on yes/no comments, but it does. it results in script text "YES" or "NO". didn't know about ".inputvalue" until now. thanks mckenzie!

Do you create the commands by going through the menu, or copy&paste? I've noticed a couple of times lately, that when using copy&paste the new copy isn't always a 'deep copy', but retain internal links to the original. I've never seen that behavior when creating commands through the menu.

[JayKin]

Yes copy & paste, that could be a good shout.

I'll do some testing.
