GetSequence
You can use this function for Optiva Workflows.
Purpose
Generates the next sequence number.
Syntax
Dim getSequence as Long = GetSequence(“SetType”, integer)
Arguments
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
SetType as string
|
A grouping identifier that enables you to maintain multiple sequences within the system. |
Increment as Integer
|
Controls what the sequence is incremented by. Typically this value is 1, but it can be other positive integer values. |
Description
This function is used to generate the next sequence number. The SetType does not have to be created in the system. It is an
arbitrary string.
Suppose two departments want to use sequence numbers. You can create unique numbers for each department. For example, you can use the name of the department.
Example
This syntax generates the next number in the
“aSET” sequence, incrementing it by 1.
Dim getSequence as Long = GetSequence(“aSET”, 1)
You can keep an arbitrary number of sequences by this method. For
example,
“Sequence1”,
“Sequence2”. You can increment it by any amount (1 or
greater; use only positive integers).
