Manipulating the Catalogue Database using SPECONMODE : Creating a Specification

Creating a Specification

In PARAGON command line type SPECONMODE to use the SPECON command syntax.

To create a new SPEC, use one of the commands

NEW SPECification specname
NEW specname

where specname is the AVEVA E3D™ name which will be used to refer to the complete Specification.

Note:

The short form of the command is all that is necessary, since a SPEC is the only element type which you can create at this level in SPECON (the lower level elements SELEC and SPCOM are created indirectly when the tabular data is entered; see Entering Tabular Data).

For example, either of the following commands:

NEW SPEC /RF300
NEW /RF300

would create a new SPEC called /RF300.

To associate a descriptive text with the SPEC name, use the syntax

For example, the SPEC created in the preceding example might be given an associated text by entering the command:

TEXT ’300 psi Piping Specification’

Note:

The delimiting apostrophes enclosing the text string, which must not exceed 50 characters.

This text, which is stored in a TEXT element in the hierarchy, will be shown after the SPEC name when the Specification is output; see Outputting a Specification.

Two system attributes on the AVEVA E3D™ SPECIFICATION element are used when the product VPRM is the source of AVEVA E3D™ Specifications.

When a specification is imported to AVEVA E3D™ the attributes FISSUE and FINPUTBY hold the VPRM information.

•

FISSUE holds VPRM issue number

•

FINPUTBY holds information indicating that the source was VPRM and includes the date of issue

The system attribute FSTATUS also holds the VPRM status of the specification, usually working or approved.
