eCAP_generic parameters 249

The alarm description refers to the definitions in the eKERNEL_ALARM

table.

The value 0 denotes this field is not available in the datastream.

The remaining values in field eCAPG_Ala_Descr_str must be set

to 0 and eCAPG_Ala_Descr_Field_n to 0. In this case, the field

eCAPG_Dft_Ala__Descr_str must be used to define a default alarm

description.

An alarm description indication can be defined based either

upon string position (through eCAPG_Ala_Descr_start_n and

eCAPG_Ala_Descr_len_n) or based upon field occurrence (through

eCAPG_Ala_Descr_field_n).

A positive value in eCAPG_Ala_Descr_start_n indicates a positional

definition is available, and denotes the start position of the alarm

description.

An example of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 20

eCAPG_Ala_Descr_len_n

This field specifies the length of the alarm description.

If the field eCAPG_Ala_Descr_start_n equals 0, the eCAPG_Ala_Desc

r_len_n must be 0 as well.

If the field eCAPG_Ala_Descr_start_n is non-0, the eCAPG_Ala_Descr_le

n_n must be non-0 as well.

An example of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 1

eCAPG_Ala_Descr_field_n

This field specifies the occurrence number of the field that denotes alarm

description, and only applies when a field separator is defined. In this

case, no positional definition is active.

The field must be 0 when no such definition is active.

A positive value indicates the field number. For example, when the field

separator is / and the datastream is 001/02/ABC, the value of 1 returns

001 as alarm description, a value 2 would return 02 as alarm description

and 3 would return ABC as alarm description.

An example of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 0
