CUTPIPELISTFILE

Function:

Outputs a cut pipe list to a file.

Description:

A cut pipe report can be output as a comma separated value (*.csv) file. The information normally output for a pipe is:

• Itemcode

• Item description and specification

• Bore

• Cut length

• Calculated length (ignoring end preparation allowances etc.)

• Special requirements (e.g. pulled bends, loose flanges, etc.)

• Cut piece number

• Pipeline reference

• Batch reference, that is, the Zone name.

• End preparations

• Spool number

The dimensional units and date format used in the report can be defined by using the UNITS and DATE commands.

The format of the report file can also be customized to show only the information the user wants to see. This is done by defining a format file, in comma separated value (*.csv) format, which reads in the report file and lays it out to the specification. The format file must contain the following information:

• Flags to retain .csv file, create formatted report, create appware macro

• Flags to include Fortran carriage controls, paging, date

• File header

• File footer

• Page length

• Order of requested columns

• Column titles

• Column widths

• Column spacing

The format files can only be created using the appware by specifying the layout in the isometric option files.

Examples:

CUTPipelistfile /PIPELIST

This writes the list of cut pipes into a file named ‘PIPELIST’, using the standard format.

CUTP /FILE1 OVER

Writes the cut pipe list to a file named FILE1, overwriting the existing contents of FILE1.

CUTP OFF

Cut pipe reports are not produced. This is the default.

CUTP /FILE4 OVER FORMATfilename /FORMAT1

Writes the cut pipe report to a file named FILE4 using the formatting information from file FORMAT1.
