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, i.e. 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 customised 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
•
Columns 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.
