Run number (RunID) |
The script function converts a string consisting of 7 letters to a RunID.
When jobs and job reports are stored in the file system, their file names contain the run number (RunID) of the particular job in form of a 7-figure string (letters). Example for a job report in Windows: OGMITAEV.TXT. "O" indicates the job report, "GMITAEV" is the string of the converted RunID 2000061045. In order to process the file names in a script, the string can again be converted to the 10-figure RunID with ALPHA2RUNNR.
Tip: Use the RUNNR2APLHA script function to convert the 10-figure RunID to a 7-figure string (letters). For more information, see RUNNR2ALPHA.
Example
In this example, the 7-figure string is determined from the file name and output in the activation log.
:SET &ALPHA# = MID("JAADMXZT.TXT",
2, 7)
:SET &RET# =
ALPHA2RUNNR(&ALPHA#)
:PRINT "RunID: &RET#"
