GEFCOMM.VB help

[jcp]

hi friends;
i want to use GEFCOMm to build a interface in VB6.0. I read the document but i confuse how the data return from the following method
Status = gefReadPLCMemory(1, PLCMemoryType, PLCAddress, DataLength, DataValues())

Suppose i write following
Status = gefReadPLCMemory(1, R , 154, 2, 0)
IS it right or can i get the value in status variable?
I want to read some individual registers and set the return value in textbox which assign individually to each registers.
Regards

I've never used GEFCOMMVB myself, but instead of the letter R in the parameters list, you may need to use the number 8.

Each of the PLC memory types (%I, %Q, %M, %R, etc is identified by a number in the SNP protocol. Details can be found in the serial communications manual, GFK-0582.
