Accessing Column Display Values

The column properties "IsMultiLanguage" and "LimitedValues" (list of permitted values) are resolved when creating the display value for a column.

Syntax

$columnname[D]$

Example of use:

A list of permitted values is defined for the restriction type of the IBM Notes server restrictions.

PrivateList=Run Personal Agent RestrictedList=Run Restricted Agent UnrestrictedList=Run Unrestricted Agent

If a server restriction has the value "Private list" the value "Run personal agent" is displayed on the information form.

Example for use in templates:

The display value for the server restriction should be formatted from the name of the IBM Notes user and the display value of the restriction type.

Value = vid_Left($FK(UID_NotesUser).FullName1st$,39) & " [" & vid_Left($NotesAgentMgrType[D]$, 22) & "]"

Accessing References in Comments

The preprocessor also interprets references that are embedded in comments, for example, $Lastname$. Referencing a column in a script comment results in the script being run when the column value is changed.

Example for use in templates:

An employee’s starting date is filled with a template. This template should run when the employee’s surname changes. The template for Person.Entrydate is therefore:

'$Lastname$

Value = Date

Using base. Object

The Base. syntax always accesses the object that is currently loaded. The Base.object can be used in tasks, selection scripts for object definitions and insert values. Base.object cannot be used in templates, formatting scripts and processes.

Syntax

• Simple value assignment

  Base.PutValue("<column>", <value>)

• Value assignment with variable replacement (value must be a character string)

  Base.PutValue("<column>", context.Replace(<value>))

Example

Base.PutValue("IsForITShop", 1)

Base.PutValue("UID_ADSContainer", context.Replace("%cont%"))
