About set the item name problem.

hi everyone

in my model. i use global table to record the number of item. and set the item name is the number of item.
for example, when the second item be created, add 1 to global table. and set the second item name is 2.
when i run the model, the item name is empty. can anyone help me? thank a lot!! (my flexsim version is 4.5)

on the onentry you use:

setname(item,gettablenum("H",1,1));

But if you check the command list you will see:

setname(obj object, str value)

So the second parameter should be a string, so change your code to either:
setname(item,gettablestr("H",1,1)); //If the data in the table is a string

or

setname(item, numtostring( gettablenum("H",1,1),0 ,0 ) ); //If the data in the table is a number

thank you very much!!!!

Also not recommended to set an object name to a number. Adding a "_" in front might be a good way around this.

setname(item, concat("_",numtostring( gettablenum("H",1,1), 0, 0)) );
