How to retrieve Level number/ID on Procedure list?

[David McFarlane]

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
really does like to take any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they strive 
to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours -- this is pretty much their 
substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of it.  3) If you 
do get an answer from PST Web Support, please extend the courtesy of 
posting their reply back here for the sake of others.

That said, here is my take ...

If you have a List named TrialList, then

c.GetAttrib("TrialList")

will return the current level of TrialList, as you can see from the 
.edat file.  Taking this further,

c.GetAttrib("Running")

will return the name of the currently running list (again, as you can 
see from any .edat file), so

c.GetAttrib( c.GetAttrib("Running") )

will return the current level of the currently running list.  Nice, eh?

But none of this matters for the question as you posed it.  For your 
example, the value of the attribute at each level never changes (e.g., 
the value of the attribute at level 1 is always "win"), so the result of 
your If...Then is known ahead of time and therefore does nothing useful. 
  So I must be missing something.
