question

Hi @Andrea F,

I added a delay activity at the bottom of the process flow. The code in it converts the row header of the next OrdersTable row into FlexSim time and then delays the token until that time reached.

The code is the following:

// Get the DateTime string from the OrdersTable
string Table_DateTime = Table("OrdersTable").getRowHeader(token.nRow);

// In order to be converted into a number, 
   the string has to be of the format defined in the model settings
// Extract the time and date part and switch them around in a new string
string Time = Table_DateTime.slice(12, 20); // HH:mm:ss
string Date = Table_DateTime.slice(1, 11); // yyyy-mm-dd
string Switched_DateTime = Time + " " + Date; // HH:mm:ss yyyy-mm-dd

// Now convert the string into a DateTime number
Variant Model_DateTime = convert(Switched_DateTime, DATETIME_STR, FS_DATETIME);

// Return the number of seconds until that time is reached, 
   or zero if time was already reached
return Math.max(Model.getTime(Model_DateTime) - Model.time, 0);

To make it easier to bring the row header into the correct format I changed the date delimiter to be "-" rather than "/" in the model settings.
