Exercise 6: p3epilog.pclCompile all of the previous 3 PCL functions:
into a PCL library called pat304.plb. Create a p3epilog.pcl or p3patran.pcl file in you home directory to automatically “link” this PCL library with the MSC.Patran session.
3) Be sure to compile all subsequent PCL functions into this library as well. DebuggingDebugging Compile Errors

Note: For these types of errors, the actual problem may be well above the called out line number. Debugging Debugging Runtime Errors
FUNCTION my_function() INTEGER i, j INTEGER a(3) FOR (i = 1 to 3) a(i) = i END FOR j = 9 dump j, a END FUNCTION Sample to the history window (session file)$# INTEGER j = 9 $# INTEGER a(3) = [1, 2, 3] Debugging
$# Call traceback... $# Function UI_ITEM_DELETEALL $# Function MSC_EXPLORE.REFRESH, Line Number 294 $# Function MSC_EXPLORE.DISPLAY, Line Number 269 $# Function UI_EXEC_FUNCTION $# Function MSC_EXPLORE_XYPLOT_DISP_GRAPH.LEGEND_CB, Line Number 694 This can be used to find the line where the error occurred, but there is no information about what the error is. In this example, the error occurred with the built in function UI_ITEM_DELETEALL on line 294 in function MSC_EXPLORE.REFRESH().
!I am about to call my_function and i = `i` The line starts with a single “!” and any variable between the “`” marks are evaluated. Accessing PCL FunctionsWhen a PCL function is called, MSC.Patran searches through the PCL library list starting with the last library added. If it is found it executes it, if not it returns the error: $# (PCL) Function does not exist: function_name() $# Execution aborted PCL functions can be called in may different ways. From The Command LineA   ny built-in function or user defined can be called from the command line: Accessing PCL Functions From Any MSC.Patran FormAny built-in function or user created can be called from a standard or user created form as long as it is surrounded by back ticks “`”. 
Use back ticks “`”   
 
Accessing PCL Functions PCL Functions with Field VariablesI  FUNCTION max_pressure(x,y,z,t) REAL x,y,z,t REAL pressure Pressure = x – y*2 + z**3 - .1783 Pressure = t * pressure RETURN pressure END FUNCTION   n this case the function does not get surrounded with back ticks, but the field variables are each prefixed with a forward tick “ ’ ”.
