Chapter 5 225
Storing and Retrieving Test Results
Using Records to Store Mixed Data Types
Getting a Field From a Record
Use the Get Field object to extract each of the three fields from the record,
then display the values for each.
1. Open the
records.vee program.
2. Select
Data ⇒ Access Record ⇒ Get Field. The object appears
with
rec.field for a title.
The data input labeled
rec will take any record regardless of the number
and type of fields.
Rec.field is the default selection in the input field,
but this can edited to retrieve any field.
Rec refers to the record at the
data input terminal by the same name. (Remember that VEE is not case
sensitive.)
Note The Get Field object is a Formula configured with inputs and an
expression, like the formulas in the Function & Object Browser.
3. Clone
rec.field twice and place the objects to the right of Build
Record
.
4. Connect
Build Record data output to all three rec.field objects.
Since the three fields are stored as
testname, time, and data, you will
have to edit the
rec.field objects to get the appropriate field.
5. Edit the three
rec.field object expression fields to rec.testname,
rec.time, and rec.data.
6. Select
Display ⇒ AlphaNumeric and clone it twice. Connect the
three displays to the three
rec.field objects. Resize the third display to
accommodate the real array, about three times longer than the other
objects.
7. Open the second
AlphaNumeric display object menu and select
Properties, then select the Number folder. Click to the left of Global
Format
to remove the check mark.
