In PcVue 10.0 sp1 and 10.1 there is an option to select a server list for variable expressions but it is disabled.
Any idea how to workaround this? Is it possible to define the server list in the EXPRV.DAT?

Hmmm, I suppose it's not implemented in the code...

Through the Architect, it is possible to edit this field (with 10.0SP1).
A new SPR to create.

ha ha, where is the anomaly? in AA or AE?
The only way is to try in EXPRV.DAT
Here is the format for the V10.0:

Thank you!
But Nico... that is the wrong screenshot. It is the documentation for template expressions.
The table for expressions on variable reads:
Field 6 - Server list name - Not saved, but got from the attribute of the result variable
So, if understand right the expression is only evaluated on stations that are in the result variable's server list, which explains why the field is readonly and which in fact does the trick for me.
If the field can be set in the Application Architect, however, it seems to be an anomaly there.

Well, then we need to create 2 anomalies:
1/ we can't set this parameter from the AA
2/ even if the variable has a server list configured, it doesn't appear in the Expression window of the AE (I propose to suppress the field from the AE)

I agree.

Argghhh indeed I ddint see my screenshot was for Expression Template object. Sorry guys.
Then, as you said Armin, the attribute containing the Server list, looks like a dirty work around done long time ago!
In the SPR we must require to enable the combo box in AE not to disable in AA.

I thought an expression was calculated by the station who produce the variable result! Isn't it?
So what is the interest to force a server list?

Wow, I am really not sure about that! Please ask Mr Leblanc to confirm...

This behavior is not old.
Expressions are calculated only on the producer server of the result variable since version 9.0 (maybe 8.2).
This corresponds well to what noticed Armin:
Not saved, but got from the attribute of the result variable
But at the end, the best answer will come from Dominique...
