[QUOTE=Stefan;42089]Hi,
I was reading the above information and have a question
When i output the spec file on the longer lines the text is cut with a $ sign and passed on to the next line.
Is it possible to avoit that?
if I remove all the $ signs and input the file will there be any problems with the system to accept it?
Thanks,
Stefan
You can use the following BOLD syntax to make the line a certain character length.
SPECONMODE
COMP
FILE /C:\SPEC.TXT OVER WI 150 CHAR
OUTPUT CE
EXIT

I have tried the above syntax for spec output and discovered that it omits some line completely.
only tubi line is complete . has any one else noted this.
Otherwise it is a powerful syntax , will save a lot of man hour.
PITCH, Thanks for your remark, I always follow the output command with term.
default outputting without character specification is fine, no truncating.
The problem is specifying cahracter.
kindly try to output a spec with this ---- FILE /C:\SPEC.TXT OVER WI 150 CHAR -- you will appreciate what I am saying..
OK I see, I tried it on one of my specs.
Basically when I use "WI 150 CHAR" I only get a file full of Headers , Defaults, plus anything on the continuation line following a $
Now, I do not know why but
I tried a second time with "WI 200 CHAR" and it worked perfectly. No wrapping necessary.
I then tried again with 150 CHAR and that also worked OK.
I exited and reentered SPECON
tried again with 150 CHAR and again it worked OK
No Idea Why or what impact using 200 CHAR has had.
I will try again tomorrow with a fresh entry to PDMS
