The GetSpecs() method retrieves a list of specs, along with the value and step number if the spec is used for an item at the operation, for a given standard operation ID, entity ID, version ID, and (optional) step number.

Syntax

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function GetSpecs( _
   ByVal operId As String, _
   ByVal entId As Integer, _
   ByVal verId As String, _
   ByVal stepNo As Nullable(Of Integer) _
) As DataSet

'Usage
 
Dim operId As String
Dim entId As Integer
Dim verId As String
Dim stepNo As Nullable(Of Integer)
Dim value As DataSet
 
value = StdOperEntSpec.GetSpecs(operId, entId, verId, stepNo)

public static DataSet GetSpecs( 
   string operId,
   int entId,
   string verId,
   Nullable<int> stepNo
)

Parameters

operId: Required. Holds the ID of the standard operation.
entId: Required. Holds the ID of the entity.
verId: Required. Holds the specification version.
stepNo: Optional. Holds the number of the step with which a specification is associated.

Return Value

Returns a DataSet that contains records for all the standard operation entity specifications that satisfy the specified filters. The returned records include columns from the Spec and Std_Oper_Ent_Spec tables.

The columns of the returned DataSet are described below.

Column Name	Description
grp_id	A string that is the ID of the specification group of which the specification is a member, from the Spec table.
spec_id	A string that is the specification ID, from the Spec table.
spec_desc	A string that is the description of the specification, from the Spec table.
spec_value	A string that is the value for this specification.
step_no	An integer that is the number of the step with which this specification is associated.
last_edit_at	A date/time that indicates when the record was added or last updated.
access_level	An integer that is the security access level for modifying this specification. The default is null, which means that no extra security is defined.
data_type	An integer that is an enumeration that indicates the data type of the specification. 0 = string (the default) 1 = floating point number
