I want my program to select a specific target, based on the values of an array.
Short Example:
Proc SelectTarget<br>  FOR i FROM 1 TO X DO<br>    If array{i}=1 THEN<br>      target:=%anothertarget+i%;<br>      !command to exit for loop?<br>    ENDIF<br>  ENDFOR<br>ENDPROC<br>
anothertarget1, 2, 3, .... are predefined targets.

I also tried
target:=%"anothertarget"+NumToStr(i)%;
but that didnt work either

What should be the right syntax here?
And is it possible to exit the for loop when if condition is set?

    Think you're looking for GetDataVal and SetDataVal -- check them out in the Rapid Manual.

    Not 100% sure on this but possibly try the following.....
    Use the TEST and CASE method instead of using the IF statement. Also, use the "RETURN;" command or maybe just set "i:=0 after the condition has been set"

          firstpoint := "p" + NumToStr(i,0);
          GetDataVal firstpoint, target{i};

    You can Return, I think or (a little more hacky) GOTO out of FOR NEXT.  Or make into a WHILE DO.

    Here's another hackarific way:

    VAR num nArrayPos
    VAR robtarget pTempTarget
    CONST robtarget pArray{##}:=... ;
    ...

    nArrayPos:=1;
    WHILE DInput(di_finished)=0 DO
            pTempTarget:=pArray{nArrayPos};
            MoveL pTempTarget, v1000, fine, t_yourTCP \WObj:=wobjyours;
            Incr nArrayPos;
    ENDWHILE

    ...
         
    Regarding the 'late binding' ...  target:=%"anothertarget"+NumToStr(i)%;   From the RAPID overview manual, "Note that the late binding is available for procedure calls only..."

    Thanks for all the answers,

    GetDataVal was just the right thing i was looking for. :)
