Bookshelf v8.0: GetDirect Tag

The GetDirect tag returns the data in any business component of the Siebel Handheld application configuration, and stores it in the specified variable.

Usage

Use GetDirect to obtain the field data in any business component of your Siebel Handheld application configuration. GetDirect works the same way as GetFieldData, except that it specifies the business object name and business component name for the appropriate table. GetDirect is similar to the GetField tag in that the specified field value of the first record is stored in the specified variable.
