Alerts parameters

[MICHON Jean-Baptiste]

Hello,

I’m calling a tcl procedure on an alert message error and I have two questions.

– Can I acces to the message (or message ID ) in this proc ?

– I know the %F parameter but what it gives and how can I use it ??

Thank you

No you do not have access to the message or it’s metadata in Alerts.

the %A argument is simply the same ASCII string that would have been displayed to the screen.

The %F flag is a path, usually in the /tmp directory, of a file which contains the above string.  In the early days we had a routine to send error messages to X-Windows.  This routine required a file name rather than a string.  Thus the temporary file.

OK.

Many thanks Charlie
