Description

      ddt function to retrieve data.


Solution

      An excellent function to use when you have loads of columns in you spreadsheet and dont want to read in each one with
value = ddt_val(table, "value");

This function will create an array which will hold data of the current row. The column name from the table is used as the index for the array.

an example of the function call is:
funcDdtBuildArray(table,table_Row,dataArray);

email nkaria@ctc.uk.com if you have any questions.


public function funcDdtBuildArray(in table, in i, out Array[]){

auto j,parList,parNum, parArray[];

ddt_get_parameters(table,parList,parNum);
split(parList,parArray," ");
ddt_set_row(table,i);

for(j=1;j<=parNum;j++){

Array[parArray[j]]=ddt_val(table,parArray[j]);
}
}
