"Store DTI to File" Ladder function

[Dave]

Why is it, when I execute this instruction with parameter D set to 0, that I get an error code -31, Number of lines in file is 0., and no file is created?

According to the help file, setting this to 0, should write entire data table.

I'm using ver. 1.21.51

I'm checking this issue for you.

I think it is a "bug" in the help, but I'm also checking if maybe it's just not working correctly in the PLC, or this feature was not implemented.

You can however use the number of rows from the table itself, for example: Table1.Number of rows

Ok.

The issue was checked, and indeed in case of 0 rows, a status -31 is returned. This is a small inaccuracy with the help.

You can use the suggestion I wrote in my previous post.

I ran into this a few weeks ago, I just set a tag with the amount of rows in the table as a work around.  Jut changed it after Saragani's reference to the "built in" tag for number or rows in a table. That way if it ever increases in size I won't have to change the number in 2 places.

Hi guys--Just wanted to note that the Help has been updated, and will be included in the next release.
