Passing a String when using SuperGenie Association
LEGACY TECH NOTE #
4651


SUMMARY

How can I pass a String of Text using Super Genie Association, without it treating the substituted value as a Citect tag, and trying to substitute the value of the tag.

This is useful when:

* Some functions require the Tag name, not the Tag value
* Sometime I want to pass in the heading of a SuperGenie, without saving this value to a STRING tag.

SITUATION

CitectSCADA 6.xx and above
CitectHMI 6.xx and above


ACTION

In order to pass an actual String of text (not the value of a STRING tag) to a SuperGenie, you need to use the following format:

" ' This is my Text String ' "

(The spaces above are just to illustrate the " and ', so when you use this, without spaces, it will look like:)
"'This is my Text String'"

And on your SuperGenie, the text object must be set to the String type, with the substitution expression ?STRING 1? in the String expression field.

i.e. to use the AssPage() Command to pass a string (in this case, the Name of a Trend):

AssPage("SG_trend","'trend1'")

NOTE: It is important to note the syntax. the SG_Trend is the name of the page, and is surrounded by " marks.
NOTE: The Trend1 etc. are surrounded by " marks AND ' marks. This will use SuperGenie substitution to parse a string instead of a Tag Value. i.e. "'Trend1'"
