How can i show the next job operation on a material tag

Has anyone been able to crack the “Material Tag Next Operation” puzzle?

We need to show the next job operation on the Material Tag.

I am trying to work with the built in functionality i.e. using a MtlTag RDD. I am pretty sure i could do this as a baq except i would have to try and emulate the ability to break up a quantity to multiple labels that we get from the Material Tags.

Any ideas welcome,

@DaveOlender I have been using this technique to pass things to MtlTags. Most of the time I just use ContextValue to pass them thru, but sometimes you have to also use a custom launch. If the data doesn’t exist in the calling program you can pass what you need for the lookup and call the baq from the material tag.

Mr. Greg: Thank you for the suggestion and the example.

I am not much of a “Coder” but I can usually figure it out if i stare at it long enough.

Thanks again,
