The big guy JPK (Customer) asked a question.

C More multi state text indicator. On General Tab
What's the difference between Bit Number and Message Number. No matter which one I choose it operates with Binary Coded Decimal. This is EA9-10WCL

    Is the tag exported from Productivity or are you defining it when creating the object? If it was BCD in the Productivity then that defined it. If you define it when creating the screen you can set the data type including BCD.

     

    If you choose 'bit number' then the next selection - Decimal or Octal numbering - is enabled. When entering the messages the leftmost column reflects "Msg No" or "Bit No" as selected.

     

    It seems that the "Bit Number" in the CMore is not the same as the bit of word selection in the Productivity. The CMore numbers the bits from zero as the least significant bit. No bits or more than 1 bit set in the target word generates the "Non Programmed Message Action". (This discovered after some playing around with the Simulate)
