Object Usage
"context"
on
page775
Object that contains one context and its sections. It is accessed through the
template object: merge.template.contexts.
To get access to one context, you have to specify the ContextType (see
"ContextType" on page772), for example: var printContext =
merge.template.contexts.PRINT;.
Through the merge object you can find out which context is currently being
merged: merge.context.
"template"
on
page768
The template object contains all contexts and sections. It is accessed
through the merge object: merge.template.
"merge" on
page753
The merge object gives access to the template with all of its contexts and
sections .
channel
(see
"Channel"
on
page771)
The channel for which output is generated. This is registered in the merge
object: merge.channel.
Note that the channel doesn't change when the output consists of different
contexts. When generating email, for example, the channel is EMAIL, even
when merging the Print context to attach it to the email.

The current record in the main data set. To get the value of a field in the
record, use record.fields['fieldname'] or record.fields.fieldname.
