This table shows the input and output formats for this item.
Input Format
Request:
BLCreateID_
<RowNumber>
<RowNumber>
is
ASCII - Integer
An array index. When an unacknowledged prompt generates, it adds to an array. If the unacknowledged prompts list is not sorted, then
x
is the row number of the unacknowledged prompt appearing in the unacknowledged prompts list.
The BLCreateID_x item requires the
Batchsvr.ini
 file to contain this setting in the [CLIENT MGR DDE] section:
MaxBatchTableLength = n
where
n
is the maximum number of batches accessible to this Item (the maximum number of entries in the array). If the number of batches in the batch list is larger than
n
, then this item will only access the first
n
 batches in a non-sorted batch list. When a batch with an index of less than
n
 is removed from the batch list, all subsequent batches will have their index decreased by one. The default value of
MaxBatchTableLength
 is
0
 (zero).
Output Format
The BLCreateID_x item returns in this format:
<CreateID>
Field Name

<Create ID>

FactoryTalk Batch
 Server to the batch appearing on the
