Read out marked set in a variable

[MihaelR]

Hi All,

Is it possible to read out which marked set is used and place it in a variable?

[SingularitY]

Not that I know of. I have a variable inside each program called markedsetname and for each marked set I set it equal to the marked set name. Then I mark the correct variable with the value that matches the marked set, for each marked set.
Example:
markedsetname="RUN"
markedsetname="OP20"
markedsetname="SORT"
Then mark the RUN variable for the RUN marked set, and so on.

We need the same for our company. We want to do this by coding a subroutine so we won't have to adjust all programs (±800) with all kinds of marked sets (mostly 3-4 per program).

Sounds like a handy enhancement if pcdmis does not currently have a way for the user to access this information either via an expression or basic.

In theory it looks possible to get the ms name with a Basic script, functions GetExecutionMarkedSetIndex and GetMarkedSetName(Index, markedSetName), but I haven't tried them, just searched the type library.

Hello everybody

The topic very interesting we would like to use the same in our company. Topic is: Marked set naming read as variable. Unfortunately, I have no experience with basic programming. Does anyone feel called to accept this challenge?

Many thanks
