Purpose

The value for the specified column number n for the current row.

You can reference Vn only within a ROW block.

Net.Data assigns the variable for each field the table; use the variable in a variable reference, specifying the number of the field you want to reference. To use this variable outside the block, assign the value of Vn to a previously defined global variable or an OUT or INOUT function parameter variable.

Examples

Example 1: Report displaying an HTML table

%REPORT{
<H2>E-mail directory</H2>
<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=3>
<TR><TD>Name</TD><TD>E-mail address</TD><TD>Location</TD>
%ROW{
<TR><TD>$(V1)</TD>
<TD><a href="mailto:$(V2)">$(V2)</a></TD>
<TD>$(V3)</TD>
%}
</TABLE>
%}

The second column shows the e-mail address. You can send the person a message by clicking on the link.
