Field Type Description
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 page472 and "Writing your own
scripts" on page221.)
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239.)
The next script looks up a value in the first record of a detail table and shows or hides the
results depending on that value:
if (record.tables["detail"][0].fields["prod_id"] == "10") {
results.show;
} else {
results.hide;
}
