[Programming Help] - ACSIL How to identify a study?

Based on the type of a study different actions are to be taken.
Therefore I'm looking to identify a study.
Outside of ACSIL in the "Studies to Graph" panel I can see the short name, the original name, as well as the S_ID.

But inside ACSIL so far I figured only out how to get the short name, which does not tell me which study I found.
This is important to know when planning to make adjustments via ACSIL to the study inputs.

Either options (Type: 1=short, 2=orig, 3=s_id) for the existing functions to allow which name to deliver are needed,

sc.GetStudyName(int StudyIndex, int Type)
sc.GetStudyNameFromChart(int ChartNumber, int StudyID, int Type)
sc.GetStudyNameUsingID(unsigned int StudyID, int Type)
sc.GetStudyInternalIdentifier(int ChartNumber, int StudyID, int Type, SCString& r_StudyName)

or new functions specific to the request
e.g.

sc.GetStudyName() // for the original name
sc.GetStudyShortName() // for the short name
sc.GetStudySID() // for the S_ID

Please advise, Thanks

Doesn't this always give the actual sc.GraphName of a study?

sc.GetStudyInternalIdentifier()

It was added in v2484 as was https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSIL_Members_Functions.html#scGetBuiltInStudyName.

Both seem to be lacking more details about their usage or examples.

In my test sc.GetStudyInternalIdentifier() also returned the short name.

Also that is one of the functions which is poorly documented.

I updated to the latest version 2586 64-bit revision 48734M
and wrote a little test study.
The attached screen shot shows the studies I've on my chart,
and below is the result of using the different functions.

All of them return the Short Name if set.
