get_message_param
— Query message parameters or information about the message.
get_message_param( : : MessageHandle, GenParamName, Key : GenParamValue)
get_message_param
queries current values of message
parameters or other information about the message status.
With each call of get_message_param
, only a single parameter value
can be queried. However, there are two types of parameters/queries:
Parameters/queries applicable to the entire message. In this case
no keys must be specified, the parameter Key
must be an empty
tuple.
Parameters/queries applicable to the individual keys. In this case
a non-empty list of keys must be specified in the parameter Key
.
The keys are processed in the same order as specified in the Key
parameter.
Key-independent (global) parameter names:
Queries all the keys stored in the message, no matter whether they
are associated with tuple or object data. The list of keys is reported
as a string tuple via GenParamValue
.
For this query the parameter Key
must be an empty tuple.
Currently supported key-specific parameter names are:
Reports 1 if the given key is stored in the message, 0
otherwise.
The results are reported via GenParamValue
, one value for
each key.
Reports 'tuple' for keys associated with tuple data within
the message (the data can be retrieved using get_message_tuple
).
Reports 'object' for keys associated with object data
(the data can be retrieved using get_message_obj
).
The results are reported via GenParamValue
, one value for
each key. This parameter is useful to decide dynamically whether to use
get_message_tuple
or get_message_obj
to get the data of a
specific key.
MessageHandle
(input_control) message →
(handle)
Message handle.
Number of elements: MessageHandle == 1
Restriction:
MessageHandle != 0
GenParamName
(input_control) string →
(string)
Names of the message parameters or info queries.
Number of elements: GenParamName == GenParamValue
Default: 'message_keys'
List of values: 'key_data_type' , 'key_exists' , 'message_keys'
Key
(input_control) string(-array) →
(string / integer)
Message keys the parameter/query should be applied to.
GenParamValue
(output_control) tuple(-array) →
(string / integer / real)
Values of the message parameters or info queries.
get_message_param (Message, 'message_keys', [], AllKeys) get_message_param (Message, 'key_data_type', AllKeys, KeysType)
If all the operator parameters, and the specified keys are valid,
get_message_param
returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. Otherwise an exception is raised.
