A Problem with custom Datatype

[mindroul]

Hi,
I have a container i've defined that is passed between different sequnces as a parameter.
As shown i the first window, there is a parameter of type BMR_RESET_REQUESTS.
HOWEVER, in the second window it does not appear in the list of the custom data types of that file.
How can that be??
Thanks, Danny

Hi,

Did you define it at the station level rather than at the sequence file level?

Thats the problem, it's not defined neither in the sequence nor in any global definitions i know.
The station-globals custom data types list is empty.
Most common data types i use are in type palettes (ini files) but it's not there either.
Any idea where else it can possibly be ??
tnx, Danny

Hi,

Can you post an example sequence file?

Attached post.seq
A parameter in SetCardsSoftware is of a "BMR_RESET_REQUESTS" type
and it's not in the custom data types list.

Hi,

Not sure why its happened, but I can help correct it.

Open the sequence file in notepad.exe or your favourite text editor.

Find the lines
[DEF, BMR_RESET_REQUESTS]
%LOCATION = ""

(its down the bottom of the file.

Change the location to read
[DEF, BMR_RESET_REQUESTS]
%LOCATION = "UserTypes"

Do the same for the line
[DEF, port_to_reset]
%LOCATION = ""

to read as
[DEF, port_to_reset]
%LOCATION = "UserTypes"

Now save the file and open in SeqEditor. Your Custom type should now appear.
