Question

would somebody help me on this to understand what it is, i am not really getting what it is,

tried a lot but could not arrive at conclusion,

@DbLookup ( "" : "NoCache" ; "" ;  "IT-MTBP Info" ; Prt1_ProjNo ; 15 )

Thanks a lot and Best Regards

Was it helpful?

Solution

From the Lotus Notes help:

@DbLookup( class : cache ; server : database ; view ; key ; fieldName ; keywords ) or

@DbLookup( class : cache ; server : database ; view ; key ; columnNumber ; keywords)

Which means you have:

  1. "" : "NoCache" - This doesn't concern you right now

  2. Second parameter is empty, so you are searching the current database

  3. "IT-MTBP Info" is the name (or alias) of the view you are searching

  4. You are searching for all values matching the contents of the field (or variable?) named Prt1_ProjNo

  5. This call will return the contents of the 15th column from view "IT-MTBP Info" for all matching documents

Here is the Example page from Lotus Notes Designer help: LINK

Hope this helps. If you still have questions you have to ask more specifically.
