Public Function assign_subcase(ByVal subcase_id As String, _

ByVal gen_time_bombs As Boolean) As Integer
Description
This API cause the specified subcase to be assigned to a new user. The subcase must be in the Open condition, and the user assigning the subcase does not have to be the owner of the subcase. In base Clarify, the assigner of a subcase must be the owner. If either user name is not specified, the "current" user is used. The date/time of the assignment, and the WIPBin to place the subcase in can also be specified. Allowing a WIPBin other than the default one is also an augmentation from base Clarify. The API can also generate a time bomb (for business rule notification).

Examples
· Assign subcase number '10-1' to user 'marty'. The assign is performed by the current user, is placed in the default WIPBin and is assigned at the current time. Generate a time bomb.
JavaScript:
var ret_int = fccs.assign_subcase("10-1", "marty", "", "", "", true);
Visual Basic:
Dim ret_int As Integer
ret_int = fccs.assign_subcase("10-1", "marty", "", "", "", True)
· Assign subcase number '2'-3 at 10PM on November 23rd of 1997 to marty, and place the subcase in marty's WIPBin named 'Urgent'. Assign should be logged as performed by sam. Don't generate a time bomb.

"11/23/97 22:00:00", "sam", false);
Visual Basic:
Dim ret_int As Integer
ret_int = fccs.assign_subcase("2-3", "marty", "Urgent", _
