Reading values

Scripts can read values from the instance list like this:

   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;
