Question

repeat region filter limited to 80 characters

Hello,

 

I have a filter condition which exceed the limit of 80 characters. (&asm.mbr.name==...)

The opposite condition doesn't result in a shorter formula.

 

I tried to use "or" ( | ) but didn't success.

&asm.mbr.name == *val1*, *val2*, *val3*,...

|asm.mbr.name == *val11*, *val12*, *val13*

 

Do you know a solution ?

Thanks.

You have not specified what version of Creo you are using, so perhaps the repeat relation functionality has changed since Creo 4.0.

Either way, maybe the following (extracted from a pertinent article, CS150475) may be informative:

How to write a repeat region relation that uses a wildcard in Creo Parametric

Applies To

  • Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Wildfire 2.0 to Wildfire 5.0
  • Creo Parametric 1.0 to 4.0

Description

  • How to write a repeat region relation that uses a wildcard
  • It always gets the wrong result when add a relation in repeat region

Cause

The wildcard (*,?) cannot be used in relation

Resolution

  • Not part of the Pro/ENGINEER, Creo Elements/Pro and Creo Parametric functionality
  • Workaround:
    • Use function extract(string, position, length) instead of the wildcard
    • For example:
If write the relation as below, you will get the wrong result:
If asm_mbr_name=="X*"
A=1
else
A=2
endif

If write the relation as below, you will get the correct result:
Y=extract(asm_mbr_name,1,1)
if Y=="X"
A=1
else
A=2
endif

    Give us a better description of what you are doing with the relation?

    Relations have always been limited to 80 characters.

    Hi,

    I think OP needs something like

    &asm.mbr.name == *val1*, *val2*, *val3*, *val4*, *val5*, *val6*, *val7*, *val8*, *val9*, *vala*, *valb*, *valc*, *vald*, *vale*, *valf*, *valg*, *valh*

    Length of this line is 152 characters. It exceeds 80 characters limit.
