  • 1.  How to change VARA values in an exported transport case?

    Posted Mar 12, 2014 12:10 PM

    As far as I can tell, the UC4 change programucybchng does not provide a way to change the values of  VARA objects in an exported transport case file¹.

    Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Is there a straightforward way to change the values of static VARA objects in a transport case file?

    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    1.  It seems that this would be a very useful feature; I have submitted a request toAutomic product management.

    For what it’s worth, here’s an example static VARA object and what it looks like in a transport case export file.

  • 3.  How to change VARA values in an exported transport case?

    Now that the the transport case file format is better understood, and parsing scripts are available, it should be relatively straightforward to develop a program/script to modify VARA object values in a transport case file.

    The F records under TOVW correspond to the fields of table OVW.

    Record
    Description
    F002C
    Key
    F005CValue 1
    F006CValue 2
    F007CValue 3
    F008CValue 4
    F009C
    Value 5

    The actual program/script is left as an exercise for the reader. :)
