AlarmNextTagRec
Searches for the next occurrence of an alarm tag, name, and description, starting with the alarm record identifier (returned from the previous search through the AlarmFirstTagRec() function). If calling this function from a remote client, use the MsgRPC() function.
This function returns an alarm record identifier that you can use in other alarm functions, for example, to acknowledge, disable, or enable the alarm, or to get field data on that alarm.
Note: Record numbers obtained from AlarmGetDsp are not valid for this function.
When the Alarm Server is not in the calling process, this function will become blocking and cannot be called from a foreground task. In this case, the return value will be undefined and a Cicode hardware alarm will be raised.
