Data Search Functions
With these functions it is possible to search all data in a RAPID program, where the
name or the data type is given as a text string. This might be useful for instance in the
following examples:
- A common problem is to check if a data with a certain name is declared in the
system, and in such case what is its value, e.g.a robtarget
- Another problem is to list all variables of a certain datatype, which are declared
in the system, and write their values on the screen, e.g. all weld data.
The following instructions/functions are included in the package:
SetDataSearch Define the search criteria
GetNextSym Search next data and get its name as a string
GetDataVal Get the value of a data, specified with a string for the name
SetDataVal Set the value of a data, specified with a string for the name

application development.
User defined data typesThis will make it possible to create your own data types, like a
record definition
AliasIO Instruction used to define a signal of any type with an alias
(alternative) name. The instruction can be used to make
generic modules work together with site specific I/O, without
changing the program code.

which is referenced as argument in the call of the routine. The
name is given as a string. The function can also be used to con-
vert the identifier of a data into a string.

This should be used to avoid error number conflicts if different
generic modules are combined in a system.
TextTabGet Function used to get the text table number of a user defined
text table during runtime.

(installed at cold start).
