Overview

The annotation for the spool tag in Isogen only allows up to fifteen characters displayed before it cuts off. This technote shows how to increase that value. 

Solution

  1. Open the following file in notepad:

    ..\program files\bentley\plant v8i\xchg\pcf\opcfhdr.ebs
  2. Find the following line in that script file:

    nStat = at_XchgWritelnData(" SPOOL-IDENTIFIER ", "SPOOL", AT_XCHG_STRING, "", 15, 3, "", AT_XCHG_OPTIONAL)
  3. The "15" is the value of the Spool tag length in Isogen. Increase the value to "20".

    nStat = at_XchgWritelnData(" SPOOL-IDENTIFIER ", "SPOOL", AT_XCHG_STRING, "", 20, 3, "", AT_XCHG_OPTIONAL)
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Restart AutoPLANT. This is very important since the changes will not be recognized until a new session of AutoPLANT is started.
