I am trying to create VBscript to export process data from a SCADA system (WinCC RT Professional) to periodically archive all process variables. The data are stored in SQL table that can be accessed through a connectivity pack. I managed to make the script working when exporting one tag (process variable), but I would like to loop over all tags in the system (about 60), collect them in another recordset and then all data from this recordset save in one csv-file. I have created RecSet that collects all variables (fields) of one tag (Time, Process Variable etc.), I only need values from Field 4 (the same field for all tags). I would then like to copy this field in another recordset - RecSetColl which collects all required data (Field 4) from all tags and finally save them in the CSV file. Thank you very much for any help.
