Cool. Then they can be compared with comparison operators, for example

Code: Select all

InLink.Timestamp1 = InLink.Timestamp2

Yes, you ARE calling subroutines - look at the job control code in your sequence. DSDetachJob is one of these. For some reason this has been de-cataloged in this project. It would be nice to find out by whom. In the meantime, export the entire project, create a new project, import everything into th...

It is a documented requirement that, when there are more than one Update inputs, all Update inputs must be de-duplicated. This does not appear to be the case in your example.
