Input - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Operating Manual

The type-specific input functions require a default value. The user-specified value can be
specified directly or applied only at runtime via variables.
All of the input functions are always displayed in the Dialogs tab in the "Step tree" dialog,
independently of the "Display messages" selection.
Default value
The arguments of the type-specific input functions must include a default value so that fully
automatic package execution is possible without requiring any operator action. This
preassignment value can be changed for manual package execution.

Input

Input("<label>")
The Input() function is a non-type-specific function.
A value can be queried during the script execution with the Input() function.
Whereby, the entered value determines the type, which in turn means that only those values
that match a permitted type can be entered (e.g. 1; 5,8; 0x0; "Test", True,...).
If the user does not enter any values, the function returns "null". This can be caught in the
script code.
The entry can be explained using the <label> argument.
Example Input
Up.in = null
While Up.in == null
Up.in = Input("Make an entry. ")
EndWhile
