Regarding storing a field value in a variable

Hello Friends,

I appreciate your time. Is it possible to store a field value in a variable.

for eg:

I have selling_vendor and Flag as my fields.

load * inline [

selling_vendor, Flag

A,1,

B,0

];

I need to create a variable called vFlag that will have Flag value in it (either 0 or 1 based on selling vendor) 

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes, you can store the value of a field in a variable, i have done this using loops in order to get every value of every row in the table, this is an example:

//First, i get the number of rows that my table has.

Let vNumberOfRows = NoOfRows('YourTable');

For x=0 to $(vNumberOfRows)-1
Let vFlag = Peek('YourField', $(x), 'YourTable');

//Here goes your code
NEXT //Here ends your loop

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

My report reduces by vendor based on section access, so I am loading all the vendors but if vendor A logins he will see only 

Vendor  ,Flag

A,0

So I am thinking of using peek function like

vFlag = Peek('Flag')

and there is only one Flag for a Vendor(either 0 or 1) so it should work, but need to test.

Any other suggestions ? any one??

Thanks,
