EnableAlarm Subroutine

Enables alarm limit checking for the specified block.

EnableAlarm[DataPoint], [intErrorMode], [bSendMsg]

The EnableAlarm subroutine syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
DataPoint	String. (Optional). The name of the database block for which you want to enable alarming. If no block is specified, alarming is enabled for the database block associated with the selected object.
intErrorMode	Integer. (Optional). The error mode. 0 - (default) – Allows the subroutines to provide the error messages. Errors are displayed in the form of a message box. If no entry is made for the intErrorMode parameter, the default is used. 1 – Allows the user to handle the error messages. Errors in the subroutines are passed back to the calling routine for handling. 2 – Writes errors to all destinations. No error messages display. Instead, the errors are written to all iFIX destinations, including the Alarm History window destinations using SendOperatorMessage.
bSendMsg	Boolean. (Optional). If TRUE, the message "value changed byxxx" will be sent to the alarm destinations. If FALSE, the message will be suppressed.
