Displaying Pipelines, Sections & Flags with Associations

You're on the right track using Global Castings to access pipe flags. However, to reach the associated pipe sections, you need to traverse the relationships defined within COMOS.

Here's a refined approach, building upon your script:

1. Access Pipe Flags: Your current method using GlobalCastings to find flags by CDeviceFullname is valid.
2. Navigate to Pipe Section: Once you've identified a flag (roDevice), utilize its relationships to find the parent pipe section. Flags are typically related to sections via a "Contains" or similar relationship. Use roDevice.Parent or explore roDevice.Relationships to find the section.
3. Access Pipeline: From the pipe section, navigate to its parent pipeline using the same approach (pipeSection.Parent or pipeSection.Relationships).
4. Output Information: Output the relevant properties of the pipeline, pipe section, and flag.

Example Snippet (Illustrative):

Set GC = CreateObject("ComosROUtilities.GlobalCastings")
strFlagCDev = "@30|M00|A50|A10|A80|A10|A40"
Set objDoc = a
objDoc.Report.OpenReadOnly True
Set colRItems = objDoc.Report.ReportDocument

For i = 0 To colRItems.Itemcount - 1
  Set rItem = colRItems.item(i)
  Set roDevice = GC.GC_GetIRODevice(rItem)

  If Not roDevice Is Nothing Then
    If strFlagCDev = roDevice.CDeviceFullname Then
      Output "Flag found: " & roDevice.CDeviceFullname

      'Navigate to Pipe Section (Adapt relationship name as needed)
      If Not roDevice.Parent Is Nothing Then
        Set roPipeSection = roDevice.Parent
        Output "  Pipe Section: " & roPipeSection.CDeviceFullname

        'Navigate to Pipeline (Adapt relationship name as needed)
        If Not roPipeSection.Parent Is Nothing Then
          Set roPipeline = roPipeSection.Parent
          Output "   Pipeline: " & roPipeline.CDeviceFullname
        End If
      End If
    End If
  End If
Next

objDoc.Report.close

Important: Replace placeholder relationship names (e.g., "Contains") with the actual relationship names used in your COMOS project. Use the COMOS object model browser to explore relationships. Consider using more specific queries targeting the flag's object type directly for performance.
