GetPageField
Mon 01 January 2018Syntax
GetPageField(Page.pagename, [scrollpath. [target_row, ]] page_field_name)
where scrollpath is:
[RECORD.level1_recname, level1_row, [RECORD.level2_recname, level2_row, ]] RECORD.target_recname
To prevent ambiguous references, you can use SCROLL. scrollname , where scrollname is the same as the scroll levelâs primary record name.
Description
Use the GetPageField function to reference a specific page field anywhere in the current component. Generally, you will need to use GetPageField to reference radio buttons, which represent multiple instances of a record field.
Note: The page field name is not the same as the record field name. The page field name is the name specified on the General tab for the page field properties in the page definition in Application Designer.
The GetField function, by contrast, uses the record field name as an argument.
If you need to reference a field that is unique in the current context, you can use the GetField function.
