Reading a P variable in C/C++ code

[Rocky 128]

Do you know if reading a P variable from a C/C++ code can be done? If yes, how?For example, if I want to read the TIME ZONE OFFSET variable, I can do it in XML:(P:TIME ZONE OFFSET, minute)But can I do the same from C/C++ ?Thanks !!Eric

Eric,This from GAUGES.H BOOL (FSAPI *execute_calculator_code) (PCSTRINGZ code, FLOAT64* fvalue, SINT32* ivalue, PCSTRINGZ* svalue);You can use it to evaluate pretty much any XML expression. I have used it to return a floating point A: or L: variable. No reason why it shouldn't give you one of the P: values.Doug

I didn't have time to test, but if I understand this correctly, it means the "code" string should contain "(P:TIME ZONE OFFSET, minute)" and the value should be returned in the fvalue or ivalue.Is that right?Thanks for the info !!Eric

FLOAT64 time_zone_offset;execute_calculator_code("(P:TIME ZONE OFFSET, minute)",&time_zone_offset,NULL,NULL);This should work fine.Chris
