| Problem: | GetSPELVar causes type mismatch with safe guard |
Symptoms
A 'Type mismatch' error occurs when GetSPELVar
executes at the same time that the safe guard activates.
Causes
The reply from the robot controller that contains
the data for the GetSPELVar method also includes a safe guard event message.
GetSPELVar cannot convert the reply to the correct data type.
| Remedies | ||||
| A temporary work around is to use the following function instead of GetSPELVar. This can not be used for string variables. | ||||
| Function GetSPELVar2(VarName As String) As Variant | ||||
| Dim tmpVal As String | ||||
| ReDim toks(0) As String | ||||
| With SPELCom1 | ||||
| Do | ||||
| tmpVal=.GetSPELVar(VarName) | ||||
| Loop Until tmpVal "" | ||||
| .ParseString tmpVal, toks(), vbCrLf & " " | ||||
| GetSPELVar2=CVar(toks(UBound(toks))) | ||||
| End With | ||||
| End Function | ||||
Status
This problem has been fixed in SPEL for Windows
2.0 version 2.2.1.
