Reading

...

values

Scripts can read values from the instance list like this:

myVariable = objListManager.Akey3\[0\];   See [<span style="color: #0000ee"><span style="text-decoration: underline; ">Visual and Programmatic Identifiers</span></span>|lansa050_2275.htm#_Ref132604343].   If the user has selected several entries in the instance list, you can read all the values in a loop like this:

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 [<span style="color: #0000ee"><span style="text-decoration: underline; ">objGlobal </span></span>|lansa050_2440.htm#_Ref130186083]: for objGlobal:

    objGlobal.uLastValue = "anything";

...

Then another script can read this value:

    myVariable = objGlobal.uLastValue;
