GetFieldValue Method

The GetFieldValue method returns the value of a field for the current record or for the record object that Siebel Open UI examines. It uses the following syntax:

Buscomp.GetFieldValue("field_name",pRecord)

where:

• field_name is a string that contains the name of a field. Siebel Open UI returns the value that this field contains.

• pRecord is an optional argument that returns the entire record that Siebel Open UI examines. If you do not specify pRecord, or if it is empty, then GetFieldValue returns only a value in field_name of the active record.

For example, the following code returns the value of the Account Name field from the current record of the business component:

Buscomp.GetFieldValue "Account Name")

For another example, the following code returns the field value of the Account Name field. A business component can include more than one record, but only one of these records is the active record. You can use pRecord to get the value of a field from a record that is not the active record:

Buscomp.GetFieldValue("Account Name",recordObject)

The GetFieldValue method returns an object that includes an error code and a return value. For more information, see Configuring Error Messages for Disconnected Clients and SetErrorMsg Method.
