An array index. When an unacknowledged prompt generates, it adds to an array. If the unacknowledged prompts list is not sorted, then

is the row number of the unacknowledged prompt appearing in the unacknowledged prompts list.
The UEEvent_x item requires the
batchsvr.ini
 file to contain this setting in the [CLIENT MGR DDE] section:
MaxPromptTableLength = n
where
n
 is the maximum number of unacknowledged prompts accessible to this item (the maximum number of entries in the array). And, where 0

 unacknowledged prompts in a non-sorted unacknowledged prompts list. When an unacknowledged prompt with an index of less than
n
 is removed from the unacknowledged prompts list, all subsequent unacknowledged prompts will have their index decreased by one. The default value of
MaxPromptTableLength
 is
0
 (zero).
