How to skip a step programmatically?

[maksya]

Hi dear ALL,

Could you suggest me a solution for my task? It is needed to programmatically skip specified steps during sequence execution. For example, I have a Parameter skipStep of type boolean. And I want to bind this parameter to some steps. When the sequence is executed with skipStep=True, Run Options of these steps will be Skip. Is it possible to implement?

Thanx in advance,

Max

Max,

 This is possible. Evaluate your true/false local variable in the precondition of the step. Look in the example computer.seq for how this is done.

Hope this helps.

Why not just use it as a precondition for that step? If you already have the boolean then it could be as simple as placing that in the precondition. If the Precondition is true then the step executes. If the Precondition is false then the step skips.

Hope this helps,
