Hello,

I am running this code to grab text from an Alarm Config Text List so that I can send the same text in an Email:

(Program)
AlarmID := GetText(sID := GVL.sAlarmID, sTextList := TextList);
AlarmMessage := VisuElems.cmpDynamictext.DynamicTextGetDefaultText(ADR(TextList), ADR(GVL.sAlarmID))^;

(Function)
GetText := VisuElems.CmpDynamicText.DynamicTextGetText(pstTextList:=ADR(sTextList),pstTextIndex:=ADR(sID))^;

My problem is that it seems sometimes (and only sometimes) I end up with a watchdog fault which points to the GetText Functions. Any ideas why?

Thanks.

You should use the TextListUtils library for this which already has a GetText function. See https://faq.codesys.com/display/CDSFAQ/Access+to+Text+Lists+from+the+IEC+Code

The problem you have with this (old) code is probably because you don't call it from the VISU_TASK. With the TestListUtils library function this is not necessary.

Thank you so much timvh, you have helped me a lot!
