Property loader changes value of BOOLEAN to false all the time regardless of imported value.

[newnew]

Property loader appears to change value of BOOLEAN (global var) to false all the time regardless of imported value.

Able to change string values OK.

Also, are there any updated examples on the ni web site (v3.1)? There is supposed to be an example in the examples library -- none there.

George,

Could you attach a a simple sequence file containing this problem?
What version of TestStand are you using?
Is your data source a text file or a database table?

Best Regards.

Antonio Lie.

Thanks to Ray for the example.

newnew,

The property loader step is working correctly.
The step's post-expression is setting the variable to FALSE after the step is executed.
FileGlobals.AVAIL_34980A= Step.PropertiesList[1].IsArray.
I am not sure why you added this post-expression, it seems unnecessary.
The Step.PropertiesList array contains the information for the selected properties to import. In your case the file global (AVAIL_34980A) is not an array and that is why it is always set to FALSE.
If you get rid of the post expression then you would see the expected behavior. (The file global would be TRUE after executing the property loader).
I am attaching a modified version of the sequence file you attached before, I commented the post expression out, so the variable is not set to FALSE after the step executes.

Hope it helps.

Antonio Lie.
