Custom Code for Entry Trigger

[bcallaghan1]

[ FlexSim 21.1.5 ]

Trying to have a label be automatically created upon queue entry on a flowitem that timestamps the time a flowitem enters a queue. My code is returning an error but unsure what is wrong. Help would be appreciated. Thanks! Tried commenting out some things to see if it would fix it but no luck.

Use the new syntax:

item.ArrivalTime=entryTime;

Or use the pick option to set a label value and use its template to enter values.

@Jason Lightfoot, should I just replace line 10 with this? Or are you saying to this as my "value" within setting a label under the onEntry label trigger?

[jason_lightfootVL7B4]

you can use that instead of the line using setlabel()

Still not working for some reason.

Can you post the model or your updated trigger? You can also place a breakpoint in the code and step through in case something is amiss that you might spot.
