Is it possible to sequentially read through a table like sales order header partners?

I want to be able (via a script) to pick up partner information selectively, i.e. I want to be able to look a list of header partners and find say partner function Z1 and display the related information on a specific area of the target screen .... is this possible?

Regards.

Patrick.

This is possible, yes. You can use a CopyTable action to copy a table or grid, and then use a Calculate in Javascript action to look through the table contents to look for specific data. While it is not exactly what you are trying to do, this blog - - should give you enough detail about CopyTable and how to process the resulting copy to do what you need. There'll be a fair bit of Javascript in the final solution.

Hi Steve, great stuff - once again excellent - I'll need to study this for a while before I can really get me head around it. Is there a JavaScript book that you would recommend for working in this context?

That depends on your previous programming experience. For what you're likely to need for Personas 2, probably almost any basic javascript book would do. You don't need to do anything particularly advanced.

Knowing Javascript quite well will get more useful with Personas 3. I really enjoyed reading "Javascript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford, but it isn't an introductory book. If you've done some object oriented and functional programming before it is a good book to learn Javascript. If not, I'd start with a more basic book first. I don't have any recommendations for basic books, I'm afraid. I haven't read one in a while
