Cannot access operation program number with NetHook?

[SlaveCam]

Hello.

Studying NetHook and developing an add-in for my company ATM; the NETHook API surprised me positively with its ease of use and sophisticated interfaces. Kudos! However, there's a little problem. I can use Operation.NCIName to change the operation's NC file name, but I can't find any way to alter or read the operation program number, which is a very important number used by our external database. Is it omitted on purpose? I am not yet familiar with the C-hook API yet (it is vast!), but I suppose it can be changed with that, am I correct?

Thank you very much.

Edit:

long op_common::prog_n Program number. is obviously what I need to have access to

For the latest NET-Hook API docs, see - https://nethookdocs.mastercam.com

The ability to get/set the Program "Number" and Program "Name" were not in the API.
Not sure why, but fairly recent requests from the field have changed that.

In the NET-Hook API online docs, under Version History for Mastercam 2020 you'll see -

Added: Methods for retrieving and updating the Program Number. In a single Operation object, or all, or just the selected operations in the Toolpath Manager. 
See: ProgramNumber and SetProgramNumber

Added: Methods for retrieving and updating the Program Name of all, 
or just the selected operations in the Toolpath Manager. 
See: GetProgramName and SetProgramName

Of course Program "Number" and Program "Name" can be manipulated using a C-Hook type add-in, in any version of Mastercam.
