I am bit confused on calling the results of the SWWM using the above function.
Interfacing guide explains it as follows; but I guess I am confusing specially shown at bold-italic letters.
If anyone knows how to call the results using the above function please be kind enough to explain me using an example.
Thanks alot.

The function GetSingleResult, which is included in the example code files that accompany this guide, demonstrates the
code needed to retrieve the computed result for a particular variable for a
given object at a specific point in time. The arguments to the function are:
The function returns a value of 1 if it was successful or a value of 0 if was not.
The choices for itemType can be:
The itemIndex argumentidentifies items of a given class that are reported on by consecutive numbers
starting from 0, which are assigned in the same order as the item appeared in
the SWMM 5 input file. As an example, suppose that a system contains 5 junction
nodes with ID names J1, J2, J3, J4, and J5 that are listed in this same order in
the project's input file, but output results are only requested for junctions J2
and J4. Then an itemIndex of 0
would retrieve results for J2 while an itemIndex of 1 would
do the same for J4. Any other values for itemIndex would be
invalid. For System items the itemIndex argument
is ignored.
code needed to retrieve the computed result for a particular variable for a
given object at a specific point in time. The arguments to the function are:
| itemType | the class of item being sought (input) |
| itemIndex | the index of the item being sought (input) |
| varIndex | the index of the variable being sought (input) |
| period | the index of the time period being sought, starting from 1(input) |
| value | the value of the result being sought (output). |
The function returns a value of 1 if it was successful or a value of 0 if was not.
The choices for itemType can be:
| · | 0 for Subcatchments, |
| · | 1 for Nodes |
| · | 2 for Links |
| · | 3 for System |

Thanks for the replies.
I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 to get the results (I mean linking SWMM to another software and to call the results) using C++. (I have downloaded the SWMM5.0 interfacing guide from the EPA web site)
Think I should explain more the problem what I have.
Let us assume there are 5 weirs and 2 orifices at one problem and I wanna get the flow rate through the weirs.
Is the following coding in c++ correct?
OpenSwmmOutFile("f3.out");
GetSwmmResults(2, 1, 0, t, A);
GetSwmmResults(2, 2, 0, t, B);
GetSwmmResults(2, 3, 0, t, C);
GetSwmmResults(2, 4, 0, t, D);
GetSwmmResults(2, 5, 0, t, E);
CloseSwmmOutFile();
In this case I am not sure how I can use the "itemIndex" which is the second number. Since both weirs and orifices are under the category of links it is bit confusing.
Thanks alot.
When results for all links are saved, then the ItemIndex is the order
(starting from 0) in which the Link is first defined in the input file.
For example, suppose your input file looked as follows:
[CONDUITS]
A
B
C
[WEIRS]
W1
W2
]PUMPS]
P1
P2
[ORIFICES]
O-A
O-B
Then the ItemIndex for weir W1 would be 3 while that for orifice O-B is
8.
If in the [REPORT] section you specify that results are only saved for
weir W1 and orifices O-A and O-B, then the item index of W1 is 0 and
that of O-B is 2 (even if you listed them as O-B, W1, and O-A in the
[REPORT] section, since the numbering is still relative to their
position where they are first defined in the input file).
Thanks
