I'm using a BRX with a 10 " CMore Micro, and I'm having trouble with one particular dynamic text. I have a custom ascii string array (SchDesc0-31), and I want to display particular entries in this array for my user to select before it is loaded into the active memory slot (32 recipes or schedules). Right now, I have them use +, - to change the recipe to load which is V6. The dynamic text I want to display is in SS3. I used V6 in a delta contact to STRPRINT SchDesc into SS3 (see attached). Even though I see the delta contact cycle on and off (via ALL STATUS toggled on), my SS3 string remains empty. This rung is the only place in my program where SS3 appears, so I do not have any other manipulations of that string in my program. Does anyone know why it is not updating with the delta? Thanks in advance!

    It's working as expected for me. Only things that might be wrong would be the contents of the source strings, or the code is in a block that isn't being executed. When I'm struggling, I usually stick an INC box in the logic just to make sure "gravity still works ".

    Yup, it was in my startup stage and not in the stage I wanted. I had a feeling I couldn't see the forest through the trees!?

    Thanks for the "gravity check " reminder; that always gets the thoughts flowing.
