Hi, I have 5 segments.A is the route,B C & D are the direct dependents of A. B has one child E. So how could I access only A,B,C and D without retrieving E? Please help.

Hi Rashmi,

You can put your DLI call in a loop with until segment-level = 3 condition.

NOTE : segment-level is a parameter in your PCB which you define in linkage section.

Thanks,

Use a pcb without e, IMS won't give you e so you save a little time and a few calls
