Description
Returns
the database ID (DbId) translated from string ID. The DbId is a unique number
assigned to every record by IBM Rational ClearQuest.
For
stateful records, the string ID is the display name (for example, SAMPL00001234).
Note: This method does not support stateless record types.
Note: This
method became available in version 2002.05.00. In version 7.0 the limit on
the number of records that can be stored increased so the range of DBIDs also
increased. However,
Rational® ClearQuest® clients
earlier than version 7.0 cannot display records with database identifiers
(DBIDs) higher than the former limit. For more information on DBIDs, see
Utilisation d'enregistrements
