Creating a tag placeholder

A tag placeholder is the cross–hatch character (#) followed by a
number from 1 to 500, as shown in the example below:

You can also add a folder name to the placeholder. For example,
#1\PV is a valid placeholder and requires only one parameter (the
folder name).

For tag placeholders in alarm summary objects (when they are
contained in graphic displays only), you can use wildcards in the
placeholder. For example, #1\PV* is a valid placeholder.

You cannot use wildcards in tag placeholders in alarm summary files
when they are not contained in a graphic display. That is, you cannot
use wildcards if the alarm summary was created using the Alarm
Summary editor. For more information about alarm summaries see
“Creating an alarm summary” on page 6-54.

Using a parameter file to replace tag

placeholders

A parameter file contains one entry for each unique placeholder in a
display. When you run a display, you specify the filename along with
the /P parameter. For details about the Display command, see
Appendix A, RSView32 commands, or see Help.
