Hello. First, I have never worked with, or know anything about the TestStand platform...please be gentle. I have a relatively simple task to accomplish, but have no idea where to start. The order of operations is as follows:
1. Operator scans a barcode (ID)
2. Pass the ID to an external SQL database using a stored procedure call
3. Receive the value returned from the SQL db
4. Flow control based on value returned
Seems simple enough, but the TS Sequence construction has me baffled. How would one use the Open/Close/Data Operation commands to make this happen? Steps 1 and 4 have been written and function properly. My hangup is creating the sequence steps to accomplish this.
Open/Close Database works, but I cannot write an Open SQL Statement that will work. Having said that....yes, the SQL db connection is good. When I use the "Database Viewer" I can query to my hearts content, and the stored procedure call works as expected. I'm in over my head here...again, I have no idea how to even manage variables or anything else in TS. I am a complete noob, and was asked to add this SQL check to an existing sequence. Any help appreciated. Thanks!!
