So I think I have loaded the code in and defined the variables correctly... i guess I will need to put up with having this corrupt z.daily.p.log in the system.

I have sent you a pm.

I just wanted to say a big thanks for spending the time to help me out!!! Really appreciated!!

I couldn't work out how to scroll to find the exact line so I edited the a.main program without z.daily.p.log and then loaded in the forum3.txt program. All loaded in!!!

Can I now call this program in the main?

Still nothing though. I can’t even open the program on the pendant, as it says it’s already running

Is correct what I am doing?

I tried it and it froze up, I cant type anything else on KRTerm

Thanks!!!

Here you go!!!

I have commented out everything remotely related to the z.daily.p.log in the main program just to be safe.

then typed delete/p z.daily.p.log and got the same response.

Yes I have edited programs before, mainly offline as its quicker than using the pendant.

I commented it out anyway just to be safe

Therefore, by commenting the CALL, means it becomes 'standalone'.....The trouble is if you are calling lots of times, you then have to hunt them down to comment them out.

I only call it twice and that's in the main program, so that should be pretty straight forward

Should I do that on the pendant or KRTerm?

For example your string $job.call cannot be deleted if more than one program uses it within the code as it is globally tied to another program.

Yes, this is used in other programs. Should I comment this out?

Right, that's better, it seems were making progress now.......it's been long winded, but light is emerging at the end of the tunnel.

It seems that we are lol.

Ok, so when a program uses a 'call' instruction, the program and variables used in the 'called' program are now protected from deletion

I was not aware that was the case.

I have already loaded in the main program where I have completely removed the "call z.daily.p.log", although is that any different from commenting them out? I would presume it is, as they are both are not calling the program.

I will check if the "z.d.p.log" loaded in, if so, I will delete it.

Fingers crossed it will work!! I will report back tomorrow (because I live in Aus)

I renamed the program file to z.d.p.log in your forum.txt file and loaded it in... got an array error

Tried deleting the program from pendant and KRTerm, would not let me even though i killed whatever program was running

I tried loading from the usb... Same issue. Was frozen with save/load on the pendant.

Yeah it definitely is Kawasaki. It is a painting robot, not for touota, as I’m pretty sure they have unique robots just for them.
It is called in the main program, so I don’t think I have tried killers it before loading. I will also delete if it doesn’. Work.
Will look up how to load

Could it be that im using a different controller? Should I kill my program before trying to load it? Im not too sure how to load from a usb, but will give it a try

Yeah I tried that today and had the same response...

Yeah I checked the Ethernet cable and it loads other programs without a proble.

I have been opening it in the program I use and saving under the AS format. I will try loading it as a txt file. You can’t see you file because I have opened it my txt editing program, saving it under a different name, then loading it in. Reason being, because I didn’t know I could load in txt files?

So if I were to do it manually, I would login to krterm, then type in the program word for word, exactly how it is shown in your program?

I tried also placing the variables first (eg. reals and string). As you can see from the pics, they still dont load

I see what you mean now. I have loaded the new program in, although I still get the same thing... the KRTerm remains loading and does not terminate. Have you managed to get this to load in?

These are the steps I have taken to load this in.

STEP 1. Open KRTerm
STEP 2. Login to KRTerm
STEP 3. Make Sure main program is primed
STEP 4. Load z.daily.p.log() ... the new one you just sent with the defined reals and strings

At this point the KRTerm is frozen and wont let me type.

This might not be the issue or help, but could the fact that we have a ".end" in the "$date.end,1,2" or "$tme.end" be a reason for this?

So with the new Code I can load through Krterm and it will work? Do I need to add my variables like you said?

Hi there,

I finally got the chance to try it out today. When I load the subroutine in, it doesn't seem to fully load in, but rather remains stuck. I cannot type, load or save files after that. If I disconnect from the robot and reconnect and proceed by trying to load it again, it states "SAVE/LOAD in progress". Killing the load doesn't help either. The only way I have found was to turn off the robot and turn it back on.

Am I doing something wrong?
