Data Binding

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Can anyone give me an example script for binding a variable or a calculated value to an object in the data view?

At the moment I am having to create budget tables and bind each cell to the data view object, but I need a way to do this dynamically to save space on the form and improve performance.

If you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry,

Should have said, I need to do this in Livecycle.

Hi Steve,

You can use following script for setting values in the DataView, without using Tables, structures on the form:

FIHDATA is the node with 1..1 cardinality and TOTAL is an attribute under it, LV_SUM is variable and can have any value:

$record.FIHDATA.TOTAL = lv_sum

For setting values in the table:

var List = ref( xfa.record.FIIDATA )

var i = 1

for i = 0 upto 10 step 1 do

List.nodes.item(i).TOTAL.value = lv_sum

endfor

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for the help, I will give it a try.

I have only been working with livecycle/SAP for 2 months so I am not aware of any better ways to do the binding so If it works, then it will save hours of field mapping between SAP and Livecycle.

Thanks for the help.
