How to return the baseline suffix for a module?

I'm a DXL beginner. I've generated DXL using the traceability wizard. I want the suffix of the module I linked to be included in the target module name. The generated code includes this:

s = name(otherMod)
if (isBaseline(otherVersion)) {
s = s " "
}

...but that would only retrieve the version number. Plus I can't get it to return anything, even when the module linked to is baselined.

How do I get this to work?

Try:

string NameMod = name(mod) "-" version(mod)

Thanks for your response. I tried that, and it gave me errors. Here's the full code, mostly generated by the wizard, then edited by me.

            s = s mv

            displayRich("\\pard " s)
 
        }
    }
}
showOut(obj,1)

The mv currently outputs just "[]".

The errors are:

-E- DXL: <Line:43> incorrect arguments for function (version)
-E- DXL: <Line:43> incorrectly concatenated tokens
-I- DXL: All done. Errors reported: 2. Warnings reported: 0.

Thanks for your continued help!

variable "otherMod" is of type "ModName_". I think this will work:

version(module(otherMod))

However I notice that variable 'ModSuffix' in that line is never used

string ModSuffix = name(otherMod) "-" version(otherMod)

... and that ModSuffix is defined near the top of the module; which means you have two.

I think you can remove that line entirely. There seems to be some display issues in the code; "mv" gets displayed twice.

Louie,
Thanks for your response. I'm picking up some good tips. I can declare variables at the same time as defining them. Types are very important (obviously). Adding "String" to some functions defines the type? e.g. "version" vs "versionString"?

I've cleaned up the code a bit based on your suggestions - I had been tweaking and changing stuff ad hoc. A couple of things are done twice, to check what works.

I tried what you suggest, but it still gives me errors.

It seems module() and version() return different things depending on whether the module in question is open or not, which seems crazy.

Sorry.

string NameAndSuffix = name(otherMod) "-" version(module( othero ))

I see that "versionString" (variable "mv") returns null when the link is coming from a current version of the module

No. the "String" in perm "versionString" does not imply some form of "string" varient of perm "version". And even if it did you could not infer the same for other perms; I'm sure perm names are created by diverse folks in the development team and there was no coordinated policy like that.
