How to set label and write to grobal table using user command

(I use FlexSim 20.2.3 version)

I want to set item label using user command. It is not hard to making a user command but i wonder what I set return type(I want to set label numeric and string both of all).

Also I want to write tracked variables value to global table, In that case, could I set User command return value to num?

Thank you for your kindly response.

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.3

user command set label write to global table

You can return a variant using 'var' as the return - that will give you the most flexibility.

Note that passed in parameters are variant type too, so you can pass in a reference to an object, node, a string or numeric and if you know the parameter type you can specify, obj, str, num to check the type when you're writing the code to call the command.

Also note that if you pass in an array, any changes to the array are preserved so can be read by the originating code that passed it to your user command.

Thank you for replying my question. I didnt know that User command doesn't have to have a return. I solve a problem through your command. I really appreciate it!
