Full manual diffs (C50, R30, C60, L20, C40, L35, R10, R20, J10, L30, L50, P30, G10, C10) and read-only checks on the shared R1.05 test server where the permission system allowed them. Skills and summaries moved to R1.05. Issues ISS-092..129 (gaps 104-107, 114-115, 130-131 unused); ISS-074 closed (manual and software agree), ISS-091 corrected by ISS-119. version-differences: unlisted manual changes and installed-only changes. r105-verification: V5-V9 and new not-tested rows.

task: Block / unblock an item and write to a blocked item
|
||
version: R1.05 (first written for R1.03)
|
||
source: IM 36K10G10-01EN 5th ed. (Feb. 2026) §3.3, §3.4; IM 36K10C10-01EN 5th ed. (Feb. 2026) §3.4, §3.5; practiced with CI-Eng-Sample 2026-09-30 (R1.03)
|
||
status: verified on R1.03 (2026-09-30); on R1.05 the BLOCKED fields of SECTION_DF, ITEM_DF and ITEM_VAL and the option bits are unchanged (checked 2026-10-08, read-only); blocking and writes to a blocked item not re-tested on the shared R1.05 test server, re-test awaits a decision (ISS-129)

# Block / unblock an item
|
||
|
||
A blocked item is not updated (e.g. during device maintenance). Blocking can be done per item,
|
||
sub-item or section; sub-items of a blocked item keep working. **Changes live behaviour:**
|
||
follow the user's chosen way of working.
|
||
|
||
Block (`BLOCKED` 1) or unblock (`BLOCKED` 0) with an update file and `dssqld -m`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
@FIELDS
|
||
NAME,BLOCKED
|
||
|
||
@ITEM_DF
|
||
"<Section>.<Tag>",1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
dssqld -m block.qli -l block.qlo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(Engineering Module: right-click the item or section › *Block/Unblock*.)
|
||
|
||
## Behaviour (verified on R1.03 with `CI-Eng-Sample.TANK1.INFLOW`)
|
||
|
||
- Blocked: option flag `blk` appears in `itmval -g`; the status number is unchanged (stayed 9).
|
||
- `itmval -p -n <item> -v <value>` on a blocked item is **silently ignored** (exit code 0, no
|
||
message, value unchanged); so is `dssqld -m` on `ITEM_VAL.ITEM_VALUE` (reports *Modified*, 0
|
||
errors). Check `blk` in `itmval -g` before writing (`knowledge/issues.md` ISS-011). Add `-o` to overwrite:
|
||
`itmval -p -n <item> -v <value> -o`.
|
||
- After unblocking, `blk` is gone but `ublk` (option bit 16, *updated blocked*) remains: the
|
||
item was written by an application (`itmval -o`) while it was blocked (IM 36K10C10 §3.5,
|
||
ISS-001).
|
||
|
||
R1.05: not re-tested (blocking changes live behaviour on the shared test server). Before
|
||
relying on the silent-ignore behaviour on R1.05, block a test item, write it without and with
|
||
`-o`, and check the value and the `blk` / `ublk` flags as above.
