I have a need to save a small amount of data, 2 characters, to the LMS
at various points in the course. This is easy enough to do, but I need
to have that data saved in the LMS even if the student's system crashes
in the middle of the course. I only want one or two characters to be
saved; each time the student reaches a point in the course that saves
the data I want it to replace the previous data not add to it. Of course
I'll retrieve the data during OnLoadBook. All ideas are welcomed.

While I have not used it in a production book, I have successfully written information to cmi.comments_from_learner (SCORM 2004) and cmi.comments (SCORM 1.2). The variable is mandatory for SCORM 2004 and optional for SCORM 1.2 so some LMSs may not implement the run time data model value.

Les

Thanks Les and Tom. I'm at the point now that I can save the data I want
and retrieve it. I'm now looking for a sample of how to parse off the
last 2 characters of the retrieved data Don't think Denny has his shared
actions for it on his site anymore, but I'll find it.
Don

Les
