D1200311 - Determine Asset Number Format DSTR
Data Item Data Structure Desc I/O Required Notes
ASNF Asset Number Format I Yes This is the value that determines the format of the asset number. It
should be passed in from a PO of the UBE.
NUMB Asset Number I Yes
ASII Asset Number-Input O Yes This is the return value and the number that will
be displayed.
APID Unit or Tag NumberI No
ASID Serial Number I No
EV01 Value Sent I Yes (Blank = All or "1" = NUMB) Flag that states that "All" of the possible item numbers have been
passed in, or just "1" NUMB. The BSFN will only retrieve the unit and serial numbers from the F1201 if a "1" is passed in.
SMI Symbol Used to define Asset NumberI/OYesConstants are retrieved automatically when Blanks are passed for all constants.
In order to do Table I/O once, and not for every record, pass a variable. Make sure all variables are blank or it will never do Table I/O.
SMU Symbol Used to define Unit NumberI/OYesSame as above
SMS Symbol Used to define Serial NumberI/OYesSame as above

| Parameter Name | Data Item | Data Type | Req/Opt | I/O/Both |
|---|
| cAssetNumberFormat | ASNF | char | REQ | INPUT |
A code that specifies how to print the Asset Number. Valid values are:
1
Asset Number
2
Unit Number
3
Serial Number
|
| mnAssetItemNumber | NUMB | MATH_NUMERIC | REQ | INPUT |
An 8-digit number that uniquely identifies an asset.
|
| szAssetNumberOutput | ASII | char | REQ | OUTPUT |
An identification code that represents an asset. You enter the identification code in one of the following formats:
1
Asset number (a
computer-assigned, 8-digit, numeric control number)
2
Unit number (a 12-character alphanumeric field)
3
Serial number (a 25-character alphanumeric
field)
Every asset has an asset number. You can use unit number and serial number to further identify assets. If this is a data entry field, the first
character you enter indicates whether you are entering the primary (default) format that is defined for your system, or one of the other two
formats. A special character (such as / or *) in the first position of this field indicates which asset number format you are using. You assign special
characters to asset number formats on the fixed assets system constants form. |
| szUnitNumber | APID | char | OPT | INPUT |
A 12-character alphanumeric code used as an alternate identification number for an asset. This number is not required, nor does the
system assign a number if you leave the field blank when you add an asset. If you use this number, it must be unique. For equipment, this is
typically the serial number. |
| szSerialNumber | ASID | char | OPT | INPUT |
A 25-character alphanumeric number that you can use as an alternate asset identification number. You might use this number to track
assets by the manufacturer's serial number. You are not required to use a serial number to identify an asset. Every serial number that you enter
must be unique.
|
| cValueSent | EV01 | char | REQ | INPUT |
An option that specifies the type of processing for an event.
|
| cSymblUseToDefinAssetNumb | SMI | char | REQ | BOTH |
A value that identifies an asset. You can assign one of three different types of numbers:
o Asset Number - an eight digit, system assigned
number
o Serial Number - a 25 digit model or serial number
o Unit Number - a 12 digit, alphanumeric, user defined number
When you enter
an asset number, you may use a prefix or symbol to designate the type of number you enter. For the type of asset number you use most
often, you should use no prefix, so that you just need to enter the number. For the other two types of asset numbers, you should define a symbol
for each, such as / or *, that you will enter as a prefix before the number to identify which type of number you are representing. For example, if
you enter serial numbers most often, you should use no prefix for serial numbers. Then you might use / as a prefix for asset numbers and *
as a prefix for unit numbers.
Note: You can leave only one type of asset number with no prefix. The other two must have a symbol so that all
three numbers are unique. Verify that the symbols that you use are not significant for any other purposes of data entry, for example, a period or
comma.
