Remarks

This function is used to work with both single-selection and multi-selection data types. If more than one selection items are set for a single-selection item, the first value is used.

The following preconditions must be met:

Connection established by PvConnectServer() or if you are performing the operation on a local machine, P_LOCAL_DB_CONNECTION may be used as the connection handle.

You must logon with administrator-level rights with PvConnectServer () before you can set a new value for a Selection type setting.
