SDT0 Problem

[mhw]

I copied a section of code from one project to another by using "Ctrl C" and "Ctrl V". This section contained the structure SDT0. DMD changed the nickname for SDT0 from "$Now" to "S2". Now it will give me the following error when I try to copy and paste that line in the same project: [Error]   dmd1D6.tmp(162)   Element string (SDT0): Element has an excluded attribute at line 162: "SDT0","S2","",""

that's pretty weird, i need to try that here. what instruction is using SDT0 as a parameter?

If it is duplicatable, if you could zip up the two projects and email them to support at hosteng.com.  Also, let us know the documentation option you chose when pasting the logic: 1. Do not paste documentation, 2. Paste, but do not overwrite existing, 3. Paste and overwrite existing.

It was being used in a few different instructions when it was copied: "If less than" "MOVE" "DTCMP"

The project it was copied from is gone.  I have project that I call "test". I create small sections of code for testing in the SIM and then copy them over to the final project. I will send the project that has the problem. I think that I used "paste but do not overwrite existing"

The clip starts off being 100% based off the SRC project.  However, when pasting into a DIFFERENT project, we make a temporary copy of the clip that is a "merging" of the clip and the destination project.  This is that .TMP file that you saw that was referenced in the error message.  Somehow the nickname for SDT0 got "adjusted" improperly .  I'm hoping I can duplicate it, and adjust Designer bits accordingly  .

I tried to duplicate it from a SIM project to a DM1E project, but it worked for me.  Hence, having the Destination project will be much appreciated.

It was a bug.  In the current Designer software, we were not allowing you to modify System Nicknames from the Import/Paste mechanisms.  But it should be allowed.  It will be fixed in the next release.  The Output Window will log a Warning that a System Nickname has been redefined.  Thanks!
