Field Type Description
fields
Array The field values that belong to this record. You can access a
specific field value using either a numeric index or the field
name: record.fields['fieldname'] or
record.fields.fieldname.
id
Number The id of this record.
index Number
The one-based index of this record, or zero if no data is
available.
tables Array
The detail tables that belong to this record. You can access a
specific table using either a numeric index or the table name,
followed by a numeric index for a record inside that detail
table. For example, to access the value of the field prod_id in
the first record of a detail table called detail, use:
record.tables["detail"][0].fields["prod_id"].
Examples
The following template script evaluates the data field Country in the current record. If the value
is 'CANADA' it will show the results, otherwise it will hide them. (The results object contains
the elements that match the script's selector; see "results" on the facing page and "Writing your
own scripts" on page624.)
if (record.fields["Country"] == "CANADA") {
results.show();
} else {
results.hide();
}
In a Control Script, an entire section could be enabled or disabled based on the same
condition:
if (record.fields["Country"] == "CANADA") {
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section 1"].enabled =
true;
} else {
