Input Arguments

 

0

Point Name

Point Name

Boolean

 

Use Number Suffix?

Indicates whether asterisks should be appended to the target name to make it unique (FALSE) or whether numeric suffixes should be used (TRUE).

 

Return Arguments

None.

 

Returned Status

 

SUCCESS

Remarks

Unlike most commands, this command does not return an argument. Instead, it just modifies the input argument as necessary to make it unique. Therefore, other commands should reference argument 0 to obtain the unique point name.
