Name-Index-Number Conversion Function

The Loc function converts a name-index number or integer to a Location name. Use this function when a statement or function needs the name of a Location but whose name-index number is stored in an Attribute, Variable, or some other expression. It can also be used to vary a selected Location based on the name-index number stored in the expression.

Syntax

Loc(<location name-index number>)

Examples

Order 10 EntA TO Loc(5)

Display "EntA arrived at" $ Loc(5)

Parameters

(<location name-index number>)

The Location name-index number defined in your model to convert to a Location name.

Remarks

When used in a string expression, ProModel converts the name-index number to the actual Location name. If the expression points to a unit of a multi-unit location, then the Loc function returns the name of the parent Location.
