Re: #define usage in Sequencer

Hi,

#define is allowed in the sequencer.  Here is an example of a sequencer program that uses it:

https://github.com/epics-modules/dxpSITORO/blob/master/dxpApp/src/dxpMED.st

Perhaps your problem is in this line:

assign test_array to {"{S}:r1", "{S}:r2", "{S}:r3"};

Where is the S macro defined?

Subject: #define usage in Sequencer

 

Dear All,

I tried to set a size of array using predefined value in sequencer code as follows:

program sncTest

#define A_SIZE 3

double test_array[A_SIZE];
assign test_array to {"{S}:r1", "{S}:r2", "{S}:r3"};
monitor test_array;

....

However, it gives an error when it is compiled. #define is not allowed in sequencer. An used sequencer version is 2-2-6.

../sncTest.stt:3: lexical error: invalid character
../sncTest.stt:3: syntax error near token ''
../sncTest.stt:3: parser giving up

Thanks,
