eci_get_nxt_num

Description

Get next numbers from a number variant. The number variant has two formats:

  • Format1 (standard): #<name_of_numbervariant> e.g. "#CLS-ID"
  • Format2: #(<name_of_numbervariant> e.g. "#(CLS-ID"
    This number variants do not store the generated number in the database, so you should provide a value for optional parameter cpOtherStart. Furthermore you only can create one number per call (cpHowMany = 1).

Note: The name variant are stored in the database without the "#" (e.g. "CLS-ID", "(CLS-ID" ). It is not guaranteed that the returned numbers are in one sequence.
