IncludeSignal keyword not supported?

Postby 2haerim » 10 Jul 2008

It seems that PL does not support "IncludeSignal" keyword.

Is it true?

Will it be added soon?

You are right HaeRim,

This word is not supported in PowerLanguage yet.

At the moment, we don't have an ETA for its implementation.

Regards.

Need "includeSignal" keyword in PL... or is this something to be submitted through project management.

What does 'includeSignal' do? The TS help only says 'This word is retained for backward compatibility.'.

You can add signals to the chart with the CommandLine() keyword, although I'm not sure if that is the same as "including".

"Include signal" was a nice way of embedding other code in a main signal...
For example, you have a signal for Entry and rather than including more code for exits, MM, or any other thing, that you would normally add to your code, you just call "include signal" "mm" or "include signal" "Exit2", it's just like calling a function, just a cleaner and simpler way to combine many signal code pieces into one signal, without typing additional unnecessary code...It's especially handy, if you use the same code parts for (MM, Calcs for # of contracts etc) routinely in your signals...just call the name, instead of typing all of the code again...

Thanks for clarifying, I didn't knew that. This would indeed be a very nice feature to have in PowerLanguage.
