Indexed addressing of strings in AB ML1200

Now thats thinking!

2 reasons it is not supported,
1.The indexed file has no internal S register to support it. (bug)
2.The command would require a length statement of the entire string, and again there is no internal register support for this. (bug)

Hence there is a work around, each string value does occupy a KNOWN memory location. Each string character available has a KNOWN value.
You figure it out from what I just told you. You are on the RIGHT track!
If not then upgrade to a higher order PLC.
