Title: Display DoMore recipe in Cmore
Post by: pioplastic on August 05, 2013, 10:16:50 AM

I was wondering if there is a way to display the recipe name which is stored in recname

• . It is a 16 character user defined block with 100 records. What I am trying to do is to display a list of the recipes by name in the CMore. If I change the string length in the recipe title to 64 characters, I can use the memcopy command and dump the data to the SSx strings which the Cmore can see. Is there a better way?

Use STRPRINT and you won't have to make the string so long.
And you are correct that the only string memory that the C-more can read is SS or SL.

The C-More DL driver can read and write strings the "old way", encoded two bytes per register in a contiguous block.  You could just put the names in DLV-memory, although then you'd have one foot in the old system and one in the new.

Thanks for the input. I figured that I would need to convert them to visible strings. I will experiment to find the best option and let you know.
