Question for inserting dbid by typing on function

Rascal

Dear all engineers using skill language

I'm a beginner for this language, so maybe it will be a very simple question.

I hoped to use axlDeleteObject function.

axlSingleSelectPoint()

s = axlGetSelSet()

axlDeleteObject(s)

with this code, it works well but,

axlDeleteObject(dbid:394899204)

if I used fucntion like above, it didn't work with error message (E- *Error* eval: unbound variable - dbid)

so here is the main question, how can i convert string(or char) type to dbid type?

Thank you

    It can't be converted. dbId is never the same in every session of tool. If someone is writing a program, its advisable to store the dbid in a variable and pass the variable.

    Thanks, I understand it can be changed whenever I use the tool, but in the same session, the part already placed dbId would not be changed and when I selected it, I could approach its dbId. 

    The point of my question is why this code  (axlDeleteObject(dbid:394899204)) can not be worked? 

    what is the o_dbid or lo_dbid format, and how can I make these?

     

    If I use printf function with list of part and it answers dbId:254233152 like this. Then It's not a dbId for that part?

    Thank you for your kindness

    Because dbId:254233152 is not a "thing" it's just a label. You can't use it because it's meaningless.

    Now I fully understand 

    Thank you again!
