Pull based on pointer

Hi I am not sure if this was answered in earlier post, if anyone knows about it please let me know.

I am having an item that used a label array which contains the pointer of the processor that I would like to send to. At the downstream queue, I am trying to pull the item where the label array contains that object pointer. However the sql WHERE statement is not working with pointer or name of the object. Is there a way to use the object pointer in this query?

The model file is upload with the name "pulling by pointer.fsm"

Regards

David

Using a pointer works. You just need a way to put it into the query ('/Processor1' is still just a string, not a pointer).

You can use:
- a pointer label on the pulling object

- a FlexSim command to get a pointer to the object enclosed in curly braces

- edit the puller value to point to the target object and use that in the query

- create an extra list field that contains the name as a string and use this in the query
