BLKMOV and indirect addressing in Step7

Hi,

I am trying to copy a set of strings from an array in to a different DB

CALL "BLKMOV"
SRCBLK :=SMP#DB50.DBX ["SMS_ALM_2_POINTER"] Byte160
RET_VAL:=MW60
DSTBLK :="SMS_PARAM".SMS_TEXT
_003: NOP 0


Sorry I forgot to mention that DB50 contain 500 strings with the length of 160 characters

however as you can sse that don't work.

if I don't use indirect addressing it works fine, any suggestion on how to do this.

Thank you for you time

Search in S7 help for "Using the parameter type ANY"

There's an STL example there that shows you how to dynamically construct an ANY pointer at runtime.

Example implementation using shorter strings (for ease of testing for me)
