Field Type Description
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", you can
use: record.tables["detail"][0].fields.prod_id or
record.tables.detail[0].fields.prod_id.
In order to loop over the records in this table you could
use the table's length property (e.g.
record.tables.detail.length), or use for(... in ...) (see
"for(... in ...)" on page1288) or an 'Each matched
element' script (see "Setting the scope of a script" on
page883).
Examples
record.fields
The following Standard 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 page1448 and "Writing your own
scripts" on page877.)
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 {
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section 1"].enabled =
false;
}
(For more information about Control Scripts, see "Control Scripts" on page913.)
