PDMS PML Simple macros | Presentation of macros A macro is a sequence of commands interpreted and executed by PDMS software. These commands can be filled in one at One in the "command window" and will give the same result.To launch a macro, simply drag the .pmlmac file into the "command window" of PDMS or write the following line: $m Macro path, example: $m C:\Path \mySimpleMacro.pmlmac NOTE: A macro does not require a particular extension.A *.txt file can be a macro however, the *.pmlmac extension allows them to differentiate from Other text files. |
PDMS PML Simple macros with parameters | Presentation of macros The parameterized macros allow, when launching them, to fill in arguments that will be used by macros. The arguments are read using the syntax: $1, $2, etc. The arguments are to rTeach following the macro call command and separated by a space. $m C: \Path \mySimpleMAcro.pmlmac MYEQUI 200 300 500 $1 $2 $3 $4 If an argument contains a space, we use the syntax: $m C: \Path \mySimpleMAcro.pmlmac $<TEXT WITH SPACE$> 200 300 500 (for a description for example) $1 $2 $3 $4 |
PDMS PML Programmable macros | Presentation of macrosPML1 variables make it possible to program macros to make them intelligent. Variables are memory blocks that will make it possible to store data (numbers, string, etc.). The variables can be compared to Labeled drawers.For example, we can store the number "32" in the "Age" drawer. To define a variable in PML, the following syntax must be used: VAR! nameVariable value of the variable Or ! nameVariable = value of the variable To retrieve the value of the variable, you must use:$! nameVariable To display the value of the variable in the "commands window" you must write: $p $! nameVariable → Returns the value of the variable Or Q var! nameVariable → Returns the type and value of the variable ►The variables are defined with one or two "!": "! Variable": to define a local variable (Usable only by the macro that created it). “!! Variable": to define a global variable (Usable by all macros during the same PDMS session). ►Never start the name of a variable with a digit.►Never use "." or "_" in a variable name. NOTE: It is important to choose the name of the variables so that the code is as readable as possible. For this, he You must choose names that represent as much as possible the content of the variable.PML 1 PML 2 |
PDMS PML String (string) | Type of variables There are different types of variables that do not store data in the same way.NOTE: Lasyntax "var! myVar "works only for the definition of STRING variables. String-type variables can contain strings. Declaration of variable of type string: Var! myString 'String of characters' Or Var! myString |Character string|Or ! myString = |String| Real-type variables are used to store numerical values. Declaration of variable of type real: ! myReal = 23 Boolean variables can have values only equal to "TRUE" or "FALSE", ! myBOolean = TRUENOTA: It is preferable to use "||" rather than "''" For the definition of a string type variable. In Effect, with this syntax, the use of characters As "'", "é", is then possible. 2.2. Real (real) 2.3. Boolean (bouléens) |
PDMS PML Array (tables) | Type of variables A table is a set of variables stored in a table. The tables must be defined as follows: ! myTable = array ()! myTable [1] = |Chain| ! myTable [2] = |de| ! myTable [3] = |characters| Or ! myTable.append (|Chaine|) ! myTable.append (|de|) ! myTable.append (|characters|) ! Brand = 1 ! Model = 2 ! Year = 3 ! Garage = array () ! Garage[1][! Brand] = |Citroën| ! Garage[1][! Model ] = |Xsara|! Garage[1][! Year ] = |1999| ! Garage[2][! Brand] = |Renault| ! Garage[2][! Model ] = |Clio| ! Garage[2][! Year ] = |2003| ! Garage[3][! Brand] = |Alfa Romeo| ! Garage[3][! Model ] = |159| ! Garage[3][! Year ] = |2005|NOTA: In this case, we define the value of eachLines of the table. 2.5. Array of Array (multidimensional arrays) Citroën ! garage[1][brand]Xsara ! Garage[1][ model ]1999 ! Garage[1][ year ] Renault ! garage[2][brand]Clio ! Garage[2][ model ]2003 ! Garage[2][ year ] Alfa Romeo ! Garage[3][brand]159! Garage[3][ model ]2005 ! Garage[3][ year ][brand] [ model ] [ year ] [1] [2] [3]NOTE: In this case, one increments a new Line atlatable with the value between Parentheses. |
PDMS PML G-string | PML1 Var! nameOfCE NAME The variable! NameOfCE is of type string and will take the value of the NAME attribute of the current element. Var! posOfCE POS wrt/* The variable! posOfCE is of the string type and takes the valEur of the POSITION attribute of the current element. ! Real1 = 3 ! Real2 = 5 ! Sum =! Real1 +! Real2 ! Average = (! Real1 +! Real2 ) / 2 Operations +, -, *, / are possible in the same way.NOTA: This syntax can be used with all the attributes of an element.3.2. RealIt is possible to concatenate string-type variables. ! String1 = |Hello| ! String2 = |world| ! Result = ! String1 & | | & ! String2 Q var! Result <STRING> 'hello world' 3.3. array Var! Listcollect all PIPE for CE ! List is a string arrayS containing the refnos of all PIPEs ('=23584/5442')PML 1 is a language for performing actions and manipulating variables. This version of the language is mainly used When it is necessary to obtain a value in one lIgne of code, otherwise we will prefer the use of PML2. |
PDMS PML PML2 | PML2 is a so-called object-oriented language. An object has its own functions (Objects will be more detailed later in this manual).When we define a variable as a STRING object, we associate it with all the functions specific to a STRING object. The functions are used as follows: ! Variable.function (Arguments) 4.1. G-string Here are some examples of essential functionsTielles to manipulate string-type variables. Function. PART( Part to be kept, 'Delimiter') returns a STRING type variable ! Identity = 'DUPONT -François -18/08/1964' ! Name = ! Identity.part ( 1 , ' -' ) Q var! Behalf <STRING> 'DUPONT' ! First name = !Identity.part ( 2 , ' -' ) Q var! First name <STRING> 'François' ! Test = ! Identity.part ( 1 , '/' ) Q var! Behalf <STRING> 'DUPONT -François -18' Function. SPLIT( 'Delimiter' ) returns a variable of type ARRAY ! identityArray = ! Identity.split ( '-' ) Q var!identityArray <ARRAY> [1] <STRING> 'DUPONT' [2] <STRING> 'François' [3] <STRING> '18/08/1964 ' NOTE: An exhaustive list of functions that can be applied to each of the object types can be found in the "Software Customisation Reference Manual » |
PDMS PML ARRAY | Voici quelques exemples de fonctions essentielles pour manipuler les variables de type ARRAY.
Fonction .SIZE() retourne une variable de type REAL qui indique le nombre de lignes dans la table.
Fonction .DELETE( ) retourne une variable de type ARRAY, suppression de la ligne et de l’index.
!table[3]. delete ()

[3] <STRING> ' quatre '
Fonction .FIND( STRING ) Retourne une variable de type ARRAY contenant les index des lignes correspondantes trouvées.
Fonction .FINDFIRST( STRING ) Retourne une variable de type REAL contenant l’index de la première ligne correspondante trouvée
NOTA surlesfoncions FIND etFINDFIRST : Siaucun élément n’est trouvé alors une variable sera créée mais pas renseignée, elle
sera alors en«unset ».
Fonction .SORT() Retourne une variable de type ARRAY triée par ordre alphabétique (si STRING) ou numérique (si REAL). |
PDMS PML Real | Real Variables of REAL types allow us to faIre of mathematical operations. Function. POWER(REAL) returns a variable of type REAL. Function. SQRT() returns a variable of type REAL. Function. SINE( ) returns a variable of type REAL. Function. COSINE( ) returns a variable of type REAL.Function. TANGENT( ) returns a variable of type REAL. Function. ASIN( ) returns a variable of type REAL. Function. ACOS( ) returns a variable of type REAL. Function. ATAN( ) returns a variable of type REAL. Function. LOG( ) returns a variable of type REAL. |
PDMS PML | It may be that a variable is not of the desired type it is possible to convert them using specific functions: It may be that a variable is not of the desired type it is possible to convert them using specific functions: It may be that a variable is not of the desired type it is possible to convert them using specific functions: .Real(), .string(), . boolean (), position(), ... ! ageSTRING = |23| ! ageREAL =! ageSTRING.real () Q var! ageREAL <REAL> 23Var! posSTRING POS WRT /* Q var! posSTRING <STRING> 'E 12490mm N 12280mm U 2150mm' ! posPOSITION = ! posSTRING.position () Q var! posPOSITION <POSITION> E 12490mm N 12280mm U 2150mm WRT /* EAST <REAL> 12490mm NORTH <REAL> 12280mm ORIGIN <DBREF> =15392/0 UP <REAL> 2150mmQ var! posPOSITION.north <REAL> 12280mm 4 . PML2 4.4. Conversions NOTE: The conversion of variable types is applicable all the time when possible, an alpha and/or alphanumeric character chain does not Cannot be converted into REAL.( Ex:! AgeSTRING =|23years|)Pseudo -attribute "sequen": Give the order of the element In relation to his parent |

Comparators EQ EQUAL NEQ NON EGAL GT BIGGER LT SMALLER GE BIGGER OR EQUAL THE SMALLEST OR EQUAL IF ( ! Age GE 18 ) THEN ! Major = TRUE ELSE ! Major = FALSE ENDIF NOTE: As soon as it is necessary to write a surplus orderLines (example the "if"), it becomes imperative to go through a macro file, the Window command requiring to validate each line a parune. |
PDMS PML The conditions | Matchwild IF ( MATCHWILD( ! Name, |? ABC*|) ) THEN Orders ENDIF The MATCHWILD function returns the TRUE value if the search is Conclusion, orFALSE silachaine of characters is not present in The variable to test. 5.4. Game IF ( MATCH( ! Name, |? ABC*|) GE 1 ) THENOrders ENDIF The match function returns the number of times the search (|? ABC*|) Is present in the variable to be tested. The number is larger or equal to 1 is that the research is conclusing. NOTE: We use "?" ifUNcharacter is anyone. We Use "*"sAll a chain of characters is anyone. Condition matchwild |
PDMS PML The loops | C Loops allow you to execute the same command several times, TheyAre controlled by a counter. DO! X FROM 4 TO 10 BY 2 Orders ENDDO ! X Variable incremented automatically at each turn of the loop. If no variable is filled in, an unknown variable will be used. FROM Defines the initial value of the variable for the first round.If the initial value is not entered, then it will be equal to 1. TO Sets the final value of the variable for the last round. If the final value is not filled in, then the loop will be infinite. BY Defines the step of the increment. If the paS is not informed so it will be 1. 6.2. DO Index Using this syntax, the variable! X will value the index of each row of the table ! Mytable. DO! X INDEX! myTable Orders ENDDO 6.3. DO Value Using this syntax, the variable!X will hang the value of each row of the table! Mytable. DO! X VALUE! myTable Orders ENDDO |
PDMS PML The loops | Estate car If no final "to" condition isIs defined for the loop, then it will be infinite. It is possible to stop it by using the "BREAK" syntax Related to a condition. DO! X IF ( ! X GT 15 ) THEN Estate car ENDIF ENDDO 6.5. SKIP The "SKIP" command is used to go directly to the next value of!XDO! X BREAK IF (! X GT 15 ) ENDDO DO! X IF ( ! X GT 15 ) THEN SKIP ENDIF Orders ENDDODO! X SKIP IF ( ! X GT 15 ) Orders ENDDO NOTE: ! Inset variable (value 1, value 2,...) allows you to verify that the variable is part of a set of predefined values. |
PDMS PML Comments | The comments Since the codes are not always explicit, it is important to comment on each operation carried out by the macro. This allows during a ModificationN of the code, to find the operation of it more quickly. Several methods are available to comment on a macro. --This is a new comment ! X = ! Y +! Z $*! X is equal to the sum of! Y and! Z $( New comment On several lines $)NOTE: By using the "PML language" option in notepad ++(c.f.pml_notepadd ++.xml), comments will be automatically displayed envert |
PDMS PML Handle | Error management "HANDLE" PendaNt the progress of a program, it is possible that some lines of code generate errors and block the continuation of the program. It is possible to manage them with the "HANDLE" blocks. HANDLE If errors are expected, the "HANDLE" syntax makes it possible not to stop theCode and enter specific commands in case of errors. ANY The command block will be read for any error. ERROR CODE (46, 28), the error code is specific to a specific error, the block of Orders will be read only for this errorELSEHANDLE Allows you to manage several errors NONE The command block will be read if there is no error ENDHANDLE Ends the command block HANDLE (46,28) Orders ELSEHANDLE ANY Orders ELSEHANDLE NONE Orders ENDHANDLE The "HANDLE" syntax must beFind directly below the line of code that can generate an error. NOTE: The syntax "old/elementName" allows you to decemmettre enCEsurl'element. |
PDMS PML Object oriented | PML2 object-oriented language The strength of PML2 is the use of objects that make it possible to optimize programs. This technology is inspired by other languages such as The C# developed by Microsoft.9.1. Notion of object !!

PDMS PML Functional repertoires | Functional Directories
It is possible to add dialog boxes, functions, and objects to those already created by AVEVA. These files must be placed under a "pmllib" folder declared in the evars. In this folder, there is a file called "pml.index" generated by PDMS that lists all these elements. To update it, you must write in the commands window: Pmlrehash all.

PDMS PML Role | Functions, Arguments and References The functions are used for coOf tasks frequently used by other developed programs. They are widely used to divide a development project into specific tasks. The file must have, as extension: *.pmlfnc Command to call the function: !! myFunction ()Create the function: Define Function!! myFunction () . . . EndFunction11.1. The functions ( function ) NOTE: Once the function is created in the "Functions" folder of dupmllib, it must Run a "pml rehash all" to refresh lepml.index. NOTE: The file *.pmLfnc must have the same name as the function. |
PDMS PML Role | Functions, Arguments and References As with parameterized macros, it is possible to call a function with arguments.Command to call the function: !! myFunction (! Name,! Age,! City) Create the function: Define Function!! myFunction (! Name isstring,! Age isreal,! City isstring) . . . EndFunction11.2. Functions with arguments NOTE: It is not mandatory dedoNner the same name to the arguments in the call and in the definition of the function, only the order and type of the Arguments are important. It is still advisable to keep the names of the arguments used in the definition of the function. |
PDMS PML Role | Functions, Arguments and References The functions are also able to return a result to a program that launched it. Command to call the function: ! Result = !! myFunction (! Name,! Age,!City) Create the function: Define Function!! myFunction (! Name isstring,! Age isreal,! City isstring) isarray ! myResult = array () . . . Return! myResult EndFunction11.3. Functions with referral |
PDMS PML Creation of objects | Creation of objects Objects are composed of different methods. Methods are functions attached to an object or a "form". Methods Work on the same principle as the functions. It's-I.e. they can receive arguments and send values. One Variable defined in a method is unknown to other methods. To use a variable in several methods of an object, it is necessary to Define as a member of this object outIliser global variables (not recommended). Lavariable! This is automatically equal to the object or "form" in which it is used. The file containing the object code must be *.pmlobj to be recognized by PDMS. Define object myObject Member .Member1 is string Member .member2 is real endObject Define method . setMember () ! This.member1 = 'Hello' --! This= !! myObject EndMethod Define method .readmember () $p $!

NET is a DLL library, a file format of software libraries files. NOTE: Libraries must be imported only once, otherwise an error message appears. It's for That it is wise to use the codeFollowing after importing the DLL: "Handle any Endhandle »15.2. Introduction of the C# and the Framework. Net 15.3. Dynamic Link Librairy (DLL) or Assembly A DLL is a library containing ready-to-use function classes and data that can be used at the same time bySeveral programs. PDMS uses an uncertain number of DLLs that we find in the PDMS installation folder. We can, from macros programmed in PML, use these libraries provided that they are [PMLNetCallable ]. The PMLNet assembly.Dllestlapasserelle that allows you to integrate the DLLentant as reference in PDMS. It's only if DLLs use This gateway that they are [PMLNetCallable ], To use a DLL in a PML program, you must first load the library with the commAnde: import 'library name'. |
PDMS PML Communicate with the Windows environment | Then you have to indicate the spaceNames used with the code:using namespace 'space name'. They bring together slots of variables, objects, Functions, this allows the program to know where to get its variables. A frequently used name space is 'Aveva. Pdms . Presentation '. LesbiLibraries that can contain several classes containing several functions themselves, we must define which one we want to use. It's necessary So define a PML object in this way:!

PDMS PML Communicate with the Windows environment with PMLFileBrowser | DLL: 'PMLFileBrowser'
Namespace: 'Aveva.Pdms.Presentation'
OBJECT PMLFILEBROWSER:
Allows displaying the Windows navigation window to save and open files.
Our object must be defined with an argument ('SAVE' or 'LOAD') to indicate whether we want to save or open a file.
Then, to display the file search window, we need to call the 'show' method of our Object with several arguments:
string path: Default path
string seedFile: Default file name
string title: Title of the window
bool existFlag: Allows or disallows the creation of a new file
string filter: Type of file to save or open
double filterIndex: If multiple filters are defined, the filterIndex indicates the default one.
Once the file is selected, its path must be retrieved using the 'file' method:
!myFile = !browser.file() |
