Problem with Job shop model

[paul_alejandro_r]

job-shop-example.fsmI am working with a List Job Shop model, and it works pretty good, but I can not understand why some items which have in their job list the step M do not go through this step before go to step Finish.

Please, any explanation is welcome

You've used "type" with a lower 't' in the field for "step" in the list, while it should be an uppercase. But this isn't the only problem as you're using a numeric with gettablestr() it would then be looking for column 2747 etc.. If you want a single line for the field that does what you want, try:

gettablestr("Steps", value.stepRow, getrank(node(numtostring(value.Type),first(reftable("Steps")))))

An overloaded gettablestr and gettablenum where strings in the row and column fields are treated as headers would probably be worth having.

How was it working before? Well value.type was always returning 2, so you were only getting column 2's process steps.

@jason.lightfoot The gettablenum and gettablestr commands are deprecated and won't be receiving any new features. You can already use row and column headers to get values from a table using the Table class:

double value = Table("Steps")["Row 3"]["Col 5"];

How very modern! So here's the new expression (for 17.1 and later versions):

Table("Steps")[value.stepRow][numtostring(value.Type)]

or

Table("Steps")[value.stepRow][string.fromNum(value.Type)]

D'oh!
