must contain one conditional decision statement within parentheses. The string values must be compared
as ASCII character codes (see Table 59 ). The format for an If/EndIf statement is:
If expression one compared with expression two (see Table 59 for comparison expressions)
macro statement, either internal or functional
EndIf
For example, to start a TC390 pair only if the pair was created successfully (result value of CreateHrcPair
command is not 0), use the following If/EndIf command:
If (_Result!=0)
StartHrcPair
EndIf
MakeString
Use the MakeString command to edit a string and/or convert numeric values to string characters. When
using the MakeString statement several conditions must be met. For each format control string statement
there must be an $Item statement. The format control string of expression 1 must be enclosed in quotation
marks (“”). If you set a value exceeding the maximum length of a string, the extraneous portion of the value
will be not set. The following table defines the two expression statement in the MakeString command. The
format for the MakeString command is:
MakeString $D= output buffer,$Fmt= expression 1,$Item= expression 2
