GetFieldStringValue
Description
Returns the list of values of the specified field as a single String.
This
method is equivalent to first calling the GetFieldValue method
to obtain a FieldInfo object and then calling the GetValue method
of the FieldInfo object. This is a more direct and more efficient
way to get the value of a field.
Note: This method became available
in version 2003.06.00.
Syntax
VBScript
entity.GetFieldStringValue field_name
Perl
$entity->GetFieldStringValue(field_name);
- Identifier
- Description
- entity
- An Entity object representing a user data record. Inside a hook, if you omit this part of the syntax, the Entity object corresponding to the current data record is assumed (VBScript only).
- field_name
- A String that identifies a valid field name of an Entity.
- Return value
- A String that contains the value or values stored in the field.
Example
Perl
my $fieldvalue = $entity->GetFieldStringValue($fieldname);
# instead of calling
# my $fieldinentity1bj = $entity->GetFieldValue ($fieldname);
# my $fieldvalue = $fieldinentity1bj->GetValue ();
