HOW TO DEFINE SEQUENCE NUMBER TO A DOCUMENT SUB TYPE?

Now you understand the concept, it is possible to automatically create and use the sequences. (Note that you cannot create a sequence and call get next sequence in the same Method due to a clash creating and using the sequence) Something similar to: //sequence 1 Item seq1 = inn.newItem("Sequence","get"); seq1.setProperty("name","mySequence_" + this.getProperty("classification","default")); seq1 = seq1.apply(); //if not found, add a new sequence if(seq1.getItemCount()<1) { seq1 = inn.newItem("Sequence","add"); seq1.setProperty("name","mySequence_" + this.getProperty("classification","default")); //update the following to match your requirements// string pre = "pre" seq1.setProperty("prefix",pre); string suf = "suf" seq1.setProperty("suffix",suf); string curVal = "1" seq1.setProperty("current_value",curVal ); string pad = "0" seq1.setProperty("pad_with",pad); int padto = 9 seq1.setProperty("pad_to",padto.ToString()); seq1.setProperty("step","1"); //end of update// seq1 = seq1.apply(); //set the new sequence number on the part must match the new sequence above string s = ""; //adjust padto if using more than 1 digit in curVal for (int i = 0; i<padto; i++) { s+=pad; } s = pre+s+curVal+suf this.setProperty("item_number", s); } else { //if found, get the next sequence number string s = inn.getNextSequence(seq1.getProperty("name","")); //set the new sequence number on the part this.setProperty("item_number", s); }
