4.33 Subprograms
Dialogs texts in subprogram call
You can define up to 19 parameter descriptions that precede/follow
the input fields in an external subprogram. The units of measure are
defined using code numbers. Depending on the setting “metric” or
“inches”, the MANUALplus shows the designations (of the units of
measure).
The parameter descriptions can be positioned within the subprogram
as desired.
Parameter descriptions (see table at right):
[//] – Beginning
[pn=n; s=parameter text (up to 25 characters) ]
[//] – End
Help graphics for subprogram calls
With help graphics you illustrate the calling parameters of
subprograms. The MANUALplus places the help graphics to the left
next to the dialog box of the subprogram call.
If you append an underscore _ and the input field name to the name
of the help graphic, a separate graphic for that input field will be
displayed. If no separate help graphic exists for an input field, the
graphic for the subprogram will be displayed (if available).
Graphic format:
BMP, PNG, JPG images
Size 442x321 pixels
You integrate help graphics for subprogram calls as follows:
U Give the help graphic the name of the subprogram (followed by the
entry field name, if required) and the extension “.ico”.
U Transfer the help graphic to the directory: \nc_prog\Pictures
