CVDATA Function
The CVDATA function returns the data associated with the provided ID from the CV Database. For popup cells, this data will be the entire packed string, for other cells, the data will be of the appropriate type as saved by an External Data cell.
Syntax
CVDATA(ID)
Example 1
To use CVDATA to retrieve Global Cell Data (no Group or Form associations), where the identifier of the data is ALPHACELL:
CVDATA("ALPHACELL")
Returns the value of the database record with the identifier ALPHACELL.
Example 2
To use CVDATA to retrieve Form Cell Data, where the identifier of the data is ALPHACELL, in the Group AREA and Form DISTRICT:
CVDATA("AREA", "DISTRICT", "ALPHACELL")
Returns the value of the database record with the identifier ALPHACELL, in Group AREA and Form DISTRICT.
Notes
- The CVDATA function makes use of a character length limitation for Group, Form, and Identifier of 12, 12, 21 respectively. Values entered which exceed these limits will be truncated to conform to the restrictions. To make use of the expanded character length limitations of 22, 22, 22 included in version 2009.00 or later, please refer to the CVDATAL function.
