Skill Q: Is there a way to get object from the print name

[Suresh Jeevanandam]

Andrew and all,
Can we get the object from the print name such as db:78268516
Something like,
myObj = getObjFromPrintName("db:78268516")

thanks in advance,
Suresh.J.

No. Why would you want to?

hi andrew, i've often wanted to get the object from the printname.
it would be very useful for debugging... if db:78268516 appears
in my stacktrace, i'd love to be able to find out what it is.
was a pin being passed to my function rather than a terminal
for example or to examine the object to figure out why my
algorithm failed for that particular object.... would be
a very useful function in my opinion..

Jim,

I think that's the reasoning behind the funobj(), stdobj() and envobj() SKILL
functions - for debugging purposes.

I don't believe there is a way of doing this right now though for db objects, so
it would need an enhancement PCR.

Andrew,
I was just playing around with one of the solutions you gave long back.
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=i1jjev0lir8bhn4tf7nid1uuqakm5p1q2i%404ax.com&output=gplain

Was just wondering if external program that communicates and executes
skill statements in the icfb could be given some mechanism to store the
skill objects as string and refer them back.

Thanks for the response. --Suresh
