Delete an alias

You can delete an Alias either from the Step Program panel or from the Alias panel. You cannot delete an Alias if it is used in a step condition or a jump condition.

When you delete the Alias, it is removed from

• the Step Program panel (as column in the output matrix)

• the Aliases panel Alias definition list

• in pulldown menus that use Aliases (such as triggers)

  Note: When you delete an Alias, you cannot undelete it. You must recreate it. If you delete an Alias that has output values associated with it, these values are deleted as well.

To delete an Alias from the Step Program panel

1. Select the Step Program panel. The Step Program panel appears.

2. Locate the Alias from the Output Matrix and select its header.

3. Select the Delete (X) button at the top of the Output Matrix.

The Alias is deleted from the Output Matrix, the Jump To lists and also from the Aliases panel.

Note: You cannot delete an Alias if the Alias Configuration (PrgAliasConfig) is locked, even if the Step Program (PrgStepProgram) is unlocked.
