Reading Stats function from global table

Instead of reading number from global table as processing time, how do I read a statistic function from a global table.

Thanks

PS. I remember reading it some where before, but I could not locate it in the forum

With the commands executefsnode and gettablecell you can execute flexscript you have stored on a global table ( this can be a distribution function)

the example from flexsim's help:

executefsnode(gettablecell("GlobalTable1",2,3),NUL L,NULL,NULL,0)

David,

If you use the MTEI to input the table you want the functions in then you can use the data distinction feature to set the nodes as Flexscript. With that and a quick Build All Flexscript you could use the node function which is much faster than executefsnode.

Hope all is well!

Brandon,

I don't really know about the data distinction feature. Can you elaborate a bit more?

Thanks!!

David,

In the Data distinction column of the MTEI you can set the value to the following:

0 - No Distinction - Assumes all data is numeric
1 - Automatic - Number or String based on the first character in the cell
2 - Row - Data is defined by the row prior to the first row of data
3 - Column - Data is defined by the column prior to the first column of data

Types 2 and 3 are the user defined data distinction types. I generally use type 2, even if I'm only going to be using numbers and strings. I do this so that it doesn't import the wrong type if someone inputs a string like "1Alpha".

To define what type of data will be imported you need to put a distinction value in the first row or column. Those values are as follows:

1 - Numeric data
2 - Text data
3 - Flexscript data
4 - C++ data

I hope that this is what you needed. If not, there is more information if you click on the ? button in the MTEI or you can post here again.

Good Luck,
Brandon
