# Iso11783IL\_PDDGetSectionState

[Valid for](../../../../Shared/FeatureAvailability.md): CANoe DE • CANoe4SW DE

## Function Syntax

```plaintext theme={null}
long Iso11783IL_PDDGetSectionState(dword ddiOfCondensedState, dword elementNumber, dword sectionNumber); // form 1
long IsoO11783IL_PDDGetSectionState(dbNode implement, dword ddiOfCondensedState, dword elementNumber, dword sectionNumber); // form 2
```

## Description

Returns the current state of a single section.

For the already specified DDIs (currently in range DDI=0 and DDI=520), the functions check if the sectionNumber fits to the DDI.

## Parameters

* **ddiOfCondensedState**: Data dictionary identifier the condensed state belongs to, e.g.:
  * 161..176 (0x0A1..0x0B0) for Actual Condensed Work State
  * 290..305 (0x122..0x131) for Setpoint Condensed Work State
  * 367..382 (0x16F..0x17E) for Condensed Section Override State
  * 517 (0x205) for Setpoint Tramline Condensed Work State 1-16
  * 518 (0x206) for Actual Tramline Condensed Work State 1-16

* **elementNumber**: Element number, 0x000..0xFFF.

* **sectionNumber**: Section number within the object, 1..256.

* **implement**: Simulation node to apply the function.

## Return Values

* **0**: disabled/off
* **1**: enabled/on
* **2**: error indicator
* **3**: no change
* **\< 0**: An error has occurred, see [error codes](../../../CAPLfunctionsISOj1939ErrorCodes.md)

## Example

```plaintext theme={null}
long value;
char text[256];
value = Iso11783IL_PDDGetSectionState(290, 10, 1);
if (value < 0)
{
  Iso11783IL_GetLastErrorText(elCount(text), text);
  write("ERROR: %s", text);
}
```
