Error 4024 structured Text programming - plc

IF IP_emo:=FALSE THEN
State:= OFF_Mode;
ELSE
State :=OFF AND IP_emo:=TRUE AND start_Btn:=TRUE OR start_Btn:=False;
State:= Monitor_Mode;
END_IF
I am not sure why I am getting error 4024 on this code requiring a := before "THEN". Can someone help me?

Disclaimer: Not sure what plc you are using or what error 4024 means but I can comment on the format of your code if you use a typcicaly IEC 61131 plc language (which most plcs are).
First, the := i an assignment operator. The = is a comparison operator. So in your if statment you would use
IF IP_emo = FALSE THEN
or alternatively (depending on which plc you use. typically all IEC 61131 languages are the same though)
IF NOT IP_emo THEN
Secondly, AND and OR are for comparison so you can't have them with an assingment operator. You can do something like
ELSE
State :=OFF;
IP_emo:=TRUE;
start_Btn:=TRUE;
start_Btn:=FALSE;
State:= Monitor_Mode;
END_IF
or maybe
ELSE
State :=OFF;
IF IP_emo=TRUE AND start_Btn=TRUE AND (start_Btn=TRUE OR start_Btn=FALSE) THEN
State:= Monitor_Mode;
END_IF
END_IF
not exactly sure what you are trying to do.

You don't mention what PLC or tool you are using, what the error 4024 means and which line it comes from. That makes it a little hard to answer your question. Some would probably say that the question qualifies for a down-wote on that account.
I'm a little confused by the formatting of your example. Please format as code (done automatically, if you use 4 spaces indent) and it will be easier to read and answer.
I made an attempt at formatting below, and have some comments to that.
Line 1: Normally you wouldn't use := but only = before THEN (might
depend on the compiler, but I doubt it)
Line 4: There's too many :='s. Should this line and the following maybe have been split into some ELSIF's or another nested IF?
I hope that helps. :-)
IF IP_emo:=FALSE THEN
State:= OFF_Mode;
ELSE
State :=OFF AND IP_emo:=TRUE AND start_Btn:=TRUE OR start_Btn:=FALSE;
State:= Monitor_Mode;
END_IF

Cimplicity Screen - one object/button that is dependent on hundreds of points

So I have created a huge screen that essentially just shows the robot status for every robot in this factory (individually)… At the very end of the project, they decided they want one object on the screen that blinks if any of the 300 robots fault. I am trying to think of a way to make this work. Maybe a global script of some kind? Problem is, I do not do much scripting in Cimplicity, so any help is appreciated.
All the points that are currently used on this screen (to indicate a fault) have very similar names… as in, the beginning is the same… so I was thinking of a script that could maybe recognize if a bit is high based on PART of it's string name characteristic. The end will change a little each time, but I am sure there is a way to only look for part of a string and negate the rest. If the end has to be hard coded, that's fine.
You can use a Python script in Cimplicity.
I will not go into detail on the use of python in Cimplicity, which is well described in the documentation indicated above.
Here's an example of what can be done... note that I don't have a way to test it and, of course, this will work if the name of your robots in the declaration follows the format Robot_1, Robot_2, Robot_3 ... Robot_10 ... Robot_300 and it also depends on the Name and the Type of the fault variable... as you didn't define it, I imagine it can be an integer, with ZERO indicating no error. But if you use something other than that, you can easily change it.
import cimplicity
(...)
OneRobotWithFault = False
# Here you get the values and check for fault
for i in range(0, 300):
pointName = f'MyFactory.Robot_{i}.FaultCode'
robotFaultCode = cimplicity.point_get(pointName)
if robotFaultCode > 0:
OneRobotWithFault = True
break
# Set the status to the variable "WeHaveRobotWithFault"
cimplicity.point_set("WeHaveRobotWithFault", OneRobotWithFault)

What does the ? symbol mean after the first IF statement?

new Here! I'm working on Jaspersoft, I've never used it before, but I saw some guide about.
I know that the IF condition has this structure : <condition> ?(Then) True :(else) False.
But I have problem to understand this line of code (see at the end of this message), where the IF is a little bit complicated. Can someone explain me what this line of code does?
($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue() == (1+("".equals($P{parametriReport}.get("censimp"))?0:1)) ? ("".equals($P{parametriReport}.get("censimp"))?"":"Codice Censimp "+$P{parametriReport}.get("censimp")):"")

Latex - Why comments environments do not work in macros?

I'm trying to crate a macro that could display different levels of details in a Resume, the idea being to be able to state a specific theme and to get details only for relevant entries in my resume.
I'm using class "memoir" to use the \newcomment function. I tried moderncv, but I was not really convinced.
Here is what I've come up with so far :
\newcomment{Item}
\newcomment{Descr}
\newcomment{Details}
\newcommand{\cvitem}[3]{
\begin{Item}\textbf{#1}\end{Item}
\begin{Descr}\hspace{1cm} {#2}\end{Descr}
\begin{Details}\\ {\small #3}\end{Details}\vspace{2em}
}
\commentsoff{Item}
\commentsoff{Descr}
\commentsoff{Details}
It works as is, but if I state
\commentson{Details}
Then I get the error :
! File ended while scanning use of \next.
<inserted text>
\par
<*> cv_master.tex
I suspect you have forgotten a `}', causing me
to read past where you wanted me to stop.
I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious,
you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file.
Any idea why ?
You're better of using conditionals in the traditional sense. That is, use \if-like statements that you can toggle on/off:
\documentclass{article}
\newif\ifItem
\newif\ifDescr
\newif\ifDetails
\newcommand{\cvitem}[3]{%
\ifItem
\textbf{#1}
\fi
\ifDescr
\hspace{1cm} #2
\fi
\ifDetails
\\ {\small #3}
\fi
\vspace{2em}
}
\Itemtrue
\Descrtrue
\Detailsfalse
\begin{document}
\cvitem{First}{Second}{Third}
\end{document}
Why? It's easier and works in all environments/classes.

testing mailers in rspec

Is there no simple way to do the equivalent of response.should render_template(:foo) in a mailer spec? Here's what I want to do:
mail.should render_template(:welcome)
Is that so much to ask? Am I stuck in the dark ages of heredocs or manually reading fixtures in to match against?
Have you tried looking at email-spec. It doesn't have the exact syntax but it is used for testing various aspects of sending emails.
# IMPORTANT!
# must copy https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/spec/support/helpers/next_instance_of.rb
it 'renders foo_mail' do
allow_next_instance_of(described_class) do |mailer|
allow(mailer).to receive(:render_to_body).and_wrap_original do |m, options|
expect(options[:template]).to eq('foo_mail')
m.call(options)
end
end
body = subject.body.encoded
end

Else part never getting executed in crystal report formula field

I have a simple formula in crystal syntax which looks something like this :
if isdate(totext({Absence Details.Return to Work Interview Date})) = true
and {Absence Details.Return to Work Interview required} = true then
1
else
0;
This is the actual code of the formula
but the else part is never getting executed, when the condition is not true report just shows blank. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks in Advance.

Maybe you have some null value in your fields - in such case crystal just returns null. You then need either "convert null values to default" setting for report or explicit testing against nulls.
Edit: NM, code was posted to the comments. Doesn't look like this is the issue.
My guess, assuming you've debugged correctly is that you've got a semicolon somewhere you shouldn't.
if {something} = x then
do something;
else
do something different;
instead of
if {something} = x then
do something
else
do something different;
This would cause the behaviour, assuming it doesn't choke on the orphaned else clause. But as the comments say, short of posting real code, we can only guess at what's going on. It could be as simple as your evaluation is always true.
Change the 0 to a 7 and see if it actually prints 7. Some report generation tools (and I have little experience with Crystal but quite a bit with others) will leave fields blank if they're zero - this often helps in reading the report by reducing unnecessary clutter.
If the 7's print out, then that's what the problem is, and it's a matter of figuring out how to get Crystal to output an actual 0.
That may be a matter of configuring the output field or even stting it to a textual "0" instead of numeric 0.
Of course, if that doesn't print out 7's, then feel free to let me know.
