# SW_EVENT

The `SW_EVENT` procedure triggers a specific event on the case of a procedure.

## Syntax

    SW_EVENT (
    proc_namevarchar(8),proc_maj_verinteger,proc_min_verinteger,step_namevarchar(8),case_numnumeric(20),user_idvarchar(24))

where:

| • | `proc_name` is the name of the procedure that you want to trigger the event on.

| • | `proc_maj_ver` is either the major version number of the `proc_name` procedure, or `-1`. See the notes .

| • | `proc_min_ver` is either the minor version number of the `proc_name` procedure, or `-1`. See the notes .

| • | `step_name` is the name of the event step that you want to trigger.

| • | `case_num` is the number of the case that you want to trigger the event on.

| • | `user_id` is the name of the iProcess user who is triggering the event.

## Notes

Instead of using the specific major or minor version number or both of the procedure, you can specify both the `proc_maj_ver` and `proc_min_ver` parameters as`-1`. If you do this, iProcess will use the version number of the procedure that the case was originally started with or, that it has subsequently been migrated to (if a subsequent version has been released while the case is still in progress).

Note | If you specify one version number parameter as `-1`, you must specify the other one as `-1` as well.

For more information about events and how to use them, see TIBCO iProcess Modeler Integration Techniques.

## Example

This example issues an event, as user `swadmin`, on `STEP1` of case `101` of the `CUSTREQ` procedure.

    EXEC owner.SW_EVENT 'CUSTREQ', -1, -1, 'STEP1', 101, 'swadmin'

Note | This example does not have any explicit transaction control, so will be committed immediately if using Transact-SQL.
