SABL Redundancy Conversion Utility — REMB
The SABL conversion program, REMB (REMove B), allows existing redundant SABL programs to
be stripped of their B statements.
REMB will only change legal SABL B statements to their non‐B form. REMB does not convert
erroneous syntax, comments or program logic.
REMB acts on one SABL program at a time. The program will read the input file, perform the
conversions and write out an output file. By default the output file is the same name and new
version of the input file. An output switch is available to obtain customized output file names.
In This Chapter
How to Run SABL Redundancy Conversion Program (REMB)
How to Run SABL Redundancy Conversion Program (REMB)
The syntax for REMB is:
remb input_filename [-o output_filename]
Where:
‐remb is the name of the program
‐input_filename is the name of the SABL program to be converted
‐output_filename is the optional name of the output file (default is same name, new
version, as the input_filename)
The B statements that will be converted by REMB and their non‐redundant form are listed in the
table on the following page:
Example of Using REMB
REMB may be used on a command line or included in a command file. An example is:
REMB %D3APP%\SETUP\SPECIFIC\PCM0\SABL\PROGRAM.SEQ
When REMB encounters no errors during a conversion no messages are generated.

CNVT_Graphic
Prior to D/3 version 8.0, EPNs were limited to 9 characters. D/3 version 8.0 and later support EPNs
up to 12 characters in length. Grinell graphics (.bin) and subpicture (.sub) files created on systems
older than D/3 version 8.0 must be converted to allow 12 character EPNs. CNVT_Graphic converts
graphic (.bin) files to allow for 12 character EPNs.
In This Chapter
Using CNVT_Graphic
Using CNVT_Graphic
Usage:
cnvt_graphics -i xxx
where: xxx is the graphic number to convert
This utility converts 9 character EPN graphics to 12 character EPN graphics. A GRAxxx.CVT file is
created if the conversion is successful. This file can then be renamed to GRAxxx.BIN and compiled
using D/3 manager or the GRC Utility.
RM1.0025.V12.3‐2A 11
CNVT_Sub
Prior to D/3 version 8.0, EPNs were limited to 9 characters. D/3 version 8.0 and later support EPNs
up to 12 characters in length. Grinell graphics (.bin) and subpicture (.sub) files created on systems
older than D/3 version 8.0 must be converted to allow 12 character EPNs. CNVT_Sub converts
subpicture (.sub) files to allow for 12 character EPNs.

How to Run PCM.DAT Conversion Tool ‐ CvtPcmDat
Run the PCM.DAT conversion tool by executing CvtPcmDat on an MS‐Windows 2000 PC.
To run from an active MS‐Windows 2000 Explorer, change the directory to the following: …GSE
Systems\D3DCS\D3bin\Tools. Double‐click on CvtPcmDat.exe.

At the prompt enter the PCM.dat file name; enter the full path and filename of your D/3 version
9.0.X PCM.dat file.
RM1.0025.V12.3‐2A 19

The program will then parse the PCM.dat file and create a D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat file and
several PCM_SETTINGS.dat files in the %D3App%\Data\cfg directory. The D/3 Architect and D/3
Manager programs use these files during normal D/3 operation.
Note: The D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat file will be appended by
CvtPcmDat by default. If the file doesn’t exist, it will be
created and all the routines will be written to it.

Introduction to sitesetup.com Conversion Tool — CvtSiteSetup
The sitesetup.com Conversion Tool — CvtSiteSetup, generates D/3 V11.0 system CDCM‐NODE
setting files from the old sitesetup.com file. It also creates a partial D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat file
with system wide settings.
The CvtSiteSetup can be run at any MS‐Windows 2000 workstation. The new CDCM‐NODE setting
files converted from sitesetup.com data file contain the format required for D/3 V11.0 CDCM node
specific parameters. CvtSiteSetup also converts system wide parameters from sitesetup.com data
file to D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat file. The CvtSiteSetup program resides in the tools directory on
D/3 V11.0. The program is run from a command prompt window on a Windows PC.
A Brief Description of the sitesetup.com Data File
This data file defines the D3 system wide parameters (DEFSYS) which are defined for any CDCM
node. Sitesetup.com file also defines the CDCM node specific parameters (DEFNOD).
RM1.0025.V12.3‐2A 23

The system wide parameters that are being converted only consists of these parameters:
JOB_NUMBER
SYSTEM_NAME
VERSION
SHOW_BLUE_ALARMS
NODAL_BEEPING
NONCRITICAL_ALARM_BEEPING
For each CDCM node, Alarm settings are ignored because D/3 V11.0 uses a different format for
alarms.
A Brief Description of the D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat Data File
CvtSiteSetup writes system wide parameters to D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat data file.
The following settings are written to the D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat data file with their previous
values. Other D/3 V11.0 system settings are written with the default value. D/3 settings are followed
by UPF, UDF, and RPF routines.
RM1.0025.V12.3‐2A 24

How to Run sitesetup.com Conversion Tool ‐ CvtSiteSetup
Run CvtSiteSetup by executing CvtSiteSetup.exe on MS‐Windows Workstation.
To run from an active Windows Explorer, change the directory to the following: %D3Bin%\Tools.
Double‐click on CvtSiteSetup.exe.

At the prompt enter the sitesetup.com file name; enter the full path and filename of your D/3
version 9.0.X sitesetup.com file.

The program will then parse the sitesetup.com file and create a D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat file and
several CDCM_SETTINGS.dat files in the %D3App%\Data\cfg directory. The D/3 Architect and
D/3 Manager programs use these files during normal D/3 operation.
RM1.0025.V12.3‐2A 25

Note: If a D3SYSTEM_SETTINGS.dat file exists, then CvtSiteSetup
will overwrite the existing D/3 system wide parameters with
the newly parsed settings. If it doesn’t exist, it will be created
and all the settings will be written to it. If any
NODE_SETTINGS.dat files exist, CvtSiteSetup will ask you if
you want the existing files to be overwritten or not.

D/3 version 11.0 VersaTrend™ display groups have 2 new fields for each point in the group that
indicate the Line Thickness and Line Style of the point. VersaTrend™ display groups created on a
version 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1 or 10.2 D/3 system do not have these fields. ALL VersaTrend™ display
groups built on a system prior to D/3 version 11.0 MUST be converted using the VT10TO11CNVRT
utility.

Three new prompts were added to the Analog Output Block in D/3 version 12.2 to support the new
output range feature for Profibus, ControlNet and Ethernet I/O:
OUTRNGTYP Indicates if the limits are SIGNED or
UNSIGNED
OUTPUTLO Output Low Scaling
OUTPUTHI Output High Scaling
The CVT121TO122 utility adds these prompts to the EPN definitions in the <pcm>MDL.MDL files
for each PCM of a D/3 version 12.1 or earlier system to support features added in D/3 version 12.2.

CVTSABL1230TO1231
The syntax of the SABL PRINT and QUERY statements was modified in V12.3‐1 to require the use
of two percent signs (%%) to print a percent sign in PRINT and QUERY statements.
”Program is 0%% done.” –use of two %% signs. This will print “ Program is 0% done.”
A single percent sign (%) is interpreted as a formatting character.
The cvtSABL1230TO1231 utility adds the additional % sign to individual % signs in SABL PRINT
and QUERY statements.
This program also converts %s, %P and %S to %p.
Text in comment lines is not changed.
Text not within a quotation string is not changed.
All other single % signs are changed to %% unless followed by an “i” , a “p” or a “[number 0‐
99][.][number 0 ‐99]f”. Ambiguous expressions such as “%%f” or “%%P” produce a warning
message.

CVTSABL1230TO1231 Execution
Using CVTSABL1230TO1231
1. From a Windows Command Prompt, change the directory to the SABL directory where the
%D3App%\Setup\Specific\<pcmname>\SABL
cvtSABL1230to1231 <SABLprogram>.seq -p
This will create a new <SABLprogram>.seq and rename the old file
<SABLprogram>.seq.seq1230. The new <SABLprogram>.seq file can then be used as the new
SABL program to compile using SIC.
3. Repeat this process to update all the SABL text files in the system.

All of the SABL programs in an entire directory can be converted as follows:
RM1.0025.V12.3‐2A 39

Issue the following command from %D3App%/Setup/Specific:
cvtSABL1230to1231 PCM0/SABL -d
This will create a new <SABLprogram>.seq for each SABL program in the directory and
rename the old file <SABLprogram>.seq.seq1230. The new <SABLprogram>.seq files can
then be used as the new SABL program to compile using SIC.
CVTSABL1230TO1231 Execution
cvtSABL1230to1231 command lines always include the command word ʺcvtSABL1230to1231ʺ and
the name of the SABL program or directory of SABL programs and a switch to say if this is a
program or a directory. Other arguments allow for prevention of a backup file, creation an error
file, and to turn on debugging.
format is:
cvtSABL1230to1231 <SABLprogram>.seq::<Directory> -d::-p [-b] [-e] [-g]
This will create a new <SABLprogram>.seq and rename the old file
<SABLprogram>.seq1230. The new <SABLprogram>.seq can then be used as the new SABL
program to compile using SIC.
Where:
cvtSABL1230to1231 is the program name
<SABLprogram>.seq is the name of the SABL program. This is used with the –p
switch.
<directory> is the path name of the entire directory containing SABL
programs to be converted. This is used with the –d switch.
‐p is a hyphen followed by ʺpʺ used for converting a single
SABL program
‐d is a hyphen followed by ʺdʺ used for converting all SABL
programs in an entire directory
‐b is a hyphen followed by ʺbʺ optionally used to prevent the
backup of the original file A backup is created by default.
‐e is a hyphen followed by ʺeʺ optionally used to save errors, if
they exist, to the file <SABLprogram>_1230seq.errors instead
of outputting them to the command window
‐g is a hyphen followed by ʺgʺ optionally used to turn on
debugging and record debugging files
