SW_GETCASE_STATUS

The SW_GETCASE_STATUS procedure returns the status of a case of a procedure.

Syntax

SW_GETCASE_STATUS (
case_numnumeric(20),
case_statusvarchar(10) output,
proc_typevarchar(10)output,
case_starteddatetime output)

where:

• case_num is the number of the case that you want to get the status of.
• case_status (output) is the name of a variable, defined in the calling program, into which SW_GETCASE_STATUS will return the status of the specified case.
• proc_type (output) is the name of a variable, defined in the calling program, into which SW_GETCASE_STATUS will return the procedure type of the specified case (for example, Main or Sub).
• case_started (output) is the name of a variable, defined in the calling program, into which SW_GETCASE_STATUS will return the date and time that the case was started.

Example

This example displays the status of case 8.

Declare @case_status as varchar(10)
Declare @proc_type as varchar(10)
Declare @case_started as datetime
EXEC owner.SW_GETCASE_STATUS 8, @case_status output, @proc_type output, @case_started output
print 'Case status :'+@case_status
print 'Proc Type :'+@proc_type
print 'Case started : '+ cast(@case_started as varchar)

This results in output displaying the status of the case. For example:

Case status :Active
Proc type :Main
Case started : MAY 25 2005 3:36PM
