ddSetLocalByColumnsFromFirstRow

This function takes the first row of a dynamicdata table and, using the column names as keys, sets a local value for each column and its corresponding value. If there is no first row, then this function does nothing. This can be a useful method for quickly setting a lot of local values. The filterInclude and includeColumns properties of the dynamicdata table are ignored.

Type and Usage

• "Global Functions"

• "Dynamicdata"

Parameters

This function has one parameter, dataTableName, which is the name of the dynamicdata table to load.

Output

If the dynamicdata table was successfully loaded, it returns True.

Example

<@dynamicdata MyDataTable@>fieldA, fieldB, fieldCfoo,    bar,    baz<@end@>


<$exec ddSetLocalByColumnsFromFirstRow("MyDataTable")$><$tmpStr1 = #local.fieldA$>   [[% (tmpStr1 == 'foo') %]]<$tmpStr2 = #local.fieldC$>   [[% (tmpStr2 == 'baz') %]]
