Reading values

Scripts can read values from the instance list like this:

Show Contents List

...

myVariable = objListManager.Akey3

...

[0

...

];

...

See Visual and Programmatic Identifiers.
If the user has selected several entries in the instance list, you can read all the values in a loop like this:
     var i = 0;
...

     var strMessage = "";
...

     for (i = 1; i <= objListManager.TotalSelected; i++)
...

     {
         strMessage += "Selected Employee " + objListManager.AKey3
...
[i
...
] + " ";
...

     }
     alert(strMessage);
...
Or 
...
 from 
...
 a 
...
 field 
...
 defined 
...
 on 
...
 a 
...
 5250 
...
 screen 
...
 like 
...
 this:
...
     MyVariable = GETVALUE("utxtEmployeeCode");
...
Writing 
...
 values
...
The 
...
 script 
...
 can 
...
 put 
...
 values 
...
 on 
...
 the 
...
 screen 
...
 like 
...
 this:
...
     SETVALUE("utxtEmployeeCode", "myText");
...
Storing 
...
 values
...
You 
...
 can 
...
 store 
...
 values 
...
 in 
...
 Javascript 
...
 variables 
...
 and 
...
 then 
...
 read 
...
 and 
...
 write 
...
 from 
...
 them:
...
     Var MyString = "";
...

     MyString = objListManager.Akey3
...
[0
...
];
...
These 
...
 variables 
...
 exist 
...
 only 
...
 while 
...
 the 
...
 script 
...
 is 
...
 running. 
...
 To 
...
 share 
...
 information 
...
 between 
...
 scripts, 
...
 you 
...
 need 
...
 to 
...
 create 
...
 and 
...
 set 
...
 a 
...
 property 
...
for objGlobal :
     objGlobal.uLastValue = "anything";
...
Then 
...
 another 
...
 script 
...
 can 
...
 read 
...
 this 
...
 value:
...
     myVariable = objGlobal.uLastValue;
...
