Problem with Write to spreadsheet file.vi vs. Write delimited spreadsheet.vi

[X.]

It was not a reproach at all.

I was just noting that opinions differ as to what is an "issue"...

In the thread I started I was essentially targeted as the bad guy who sees evil around every corner, while NI was giving a pass for releasing a revamped VI that was not to be used without extra (and undocumented) precaution in a "replace" action.

[X.]

If I may reactivate that thread (hopefully monitored, since there is a CAR for it), that revamped VI is missing a critical information for write tasks, namely whether or not it has been cancelled by the user. I'd suggest to add this output to the VI (assuming it is worked on).

You will get error 43 when the user cancels it.  That is simple enough to detect.  I do not see a reason for another output.

Fair enough. However, notice the quasi-omnipresence of that output in other file functions:

etc...

It would simplify code consistency to not have to handle a specific error code to test for an expected user action (I would never have considered cancelling an action as an error if anyone had bothered to ask me).

But do notice that you do get an error out of those primitives as well (error code 43).  My initial reaction matches yours, but as I have used it, it does make a lot of sense to throw the error since nothing down the line should work.

hello, 

I met a problem. i creart a program in labview 2016, and build a application .exe, Write delimited spreadsheet.vi had been used to this program.  this application exe does work and creat a spreadsheet file.  

i copy this application exe to another computer, and the labview 2013 had been installed to this computer.  then , this applicatin exe can't creat the spreadsheet file. i have check the path, it's not problem. can you tell me the reason? thank you very much.

You'll have to provide more information than that.

Does the VI work on the other PC within LV2013 development environment?

Check to make sure that the Write to Spreadsheet File is all wired up correctly in LV 2013.  The connector panels are slightly different between the two subVI's.

thank you very much, i have found the problem.

Please give a quick description to what you found.  That way if someone in the future reads the thread trying to solve a similar problem, they can learn from your experience.

You need the 2016 runtime. 🙂
