Re: PLC's and Macros

Alan,

I believe what Jerry was saying is, he is writing a program using a
programming language (BASIC, PASCAL, Etc...) that creates PLC line
statements from variables that are imported into Vector.

Ask Fred about the DDE interface for Vector and what it can do! ( I
have written some DDE programs for Fred in the past. )
