Hints on the Trying the Examples

This manual is not really designed as a self-teach tutorial, although users who are already familiar with PML 1 programming may be able to use it as such.

Because PML 2 is specifically designed to be used to create Forms and Menus, the best way of experimenting is to start up an AVEVA product and display the command line.

You can then create a new form definition file, or edit an existing one, display the form, and use it to call the PML Functions which you have defined in separate files.

The source files for some of the larger examples are available from the AVEVA website https://softwaresupportsp.aveva.com/, so you can download them rather than having to type them in.

You can find them here under PDMS/Macro Library.
