In rjazz: Official Client for 'Jazz'

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Creates a (boolan, integer, real or string) data block in the server and stores it in the persistence by repeating a value a number of times. The type of the block can later be changed to a compatible type: BLOCKTYPE_C_INTEGER to BLOCKTYPE_C_FACTOR or BLOCKTYPE_C_GRADE and BLOCKTYPE_C_REAL to BLOCKTYPE_C_TIMESEC by a later call to set_compatible_data_type().

1	create_block_rep(source, block_key, val, times, host = .host.)

`source`	The Jazz source. Jazz persistence is organized in sources. All sources except 'sys' and 'www' are user defined. Sources are 15 char long alphanumeric or underscore.
`block_key`	The key identifying the block. Keys are 15 alphanumeric or underscore characters. They can be user defined or created by new_key(). Also, meshes use block keys internally.
`val`	The (boolan, integer, real of string) value to be repeated. A single element of type 'logical', 'integer', 'numeric' or 'character'.
`times`	The number of times to be repeated. A number.
`host`	(Optional) the name of the jazz server host (including the port). Usually set just once via set_jazz_host().
