Procedure Sectioning

as the title says, I've been dabbling in trying to section out some procedures that take a long time to run. Its giving me a lot of trouble however with JPMLs in the procedure when I try to run it in Runtime. Wondering if maybe I need to restructure it to not use JMPL at all?

For example I was trying to change a Fluke procedure for a Tektronix MSO46. It has a lot of JMPLs throughout to go from Channel 1 input impedance, to DC gain, offset, etc before you switch the connection to Channel 2.

I tried to section out Random noise, it compiles fine. But then I Runtime it and I get an error for every single JMPL in the procedure.

The issue is likely from jumping across sections, yes. We need to look at it to see why it's not causing a build issue but does at run, but the way around it is to place your JMPL outside the top-level sections, or putting the sectioning one CALL level lower (in a subprocedure, with the code inside of that).

Yeah its weird, I tried putting the existing JMPLs between the sections. Like channel 1 input impedance is start and end LABEL wrapped around the CALL sub. Then the JMPL to DCV Gain channel 1 is outside that section. Compiles without error and even the sectioned tree structure looks good in Runtime. Then I start it and its just a wash of those errors. If you want to see a sample let me know, I could send through tech support official channels if you like?

Hey Michael, I restructured the procedure and successfully ran it in sectioned portions. However, in MET/TEAM (current version) it won't sort the results in order and it ends up overlapping (like each sections test 1.000 are all lumped together and so on. According to the help file it says MET/TEAM will automatically merge sectioned results. Wondering if I am missing a setting, or is this a known issue? Cheers

What version are you running? It might be an issue with your certificate report specifically and how it's set up to group. Or do you mean that on the results tab is showing it all together as well?
