• Displays the current value of the action field

This example requires the following sample data:

• A valid incident record with a value in the action field (for example, "IM1010")
• A valid action field value update (for example, set the action field to "New description")

var incidentID;
var newValue;

function findIncident( id, value )
{
 print( "Searching for Incident record: " + id + "..." );
 var incidentFile = new SCFile( "probsummary" );
 var rc = incidentFile.doSelect( "number=\"" + id + "\"" )
 if ( rc == RC_SUCCESS )
 {
  print( "Success. found Incident record " + id );
  print( "Displaying the contents of the action field as an object: " + incidentFile.action );
  print( "Setting the value of the action field..." );
  incidentFile.action.setValue( value );
  print( "Displaying the contents of the action field as an object: " + incidentFile.action );
  print( "Displaying the Incident record: " + incidentFile );
  return incidentFile
 }
 else
 {
  print( "Could not find Incident record. " + RCtoString( rc ) );
  return null
 }
}

incidentID = "IM1010";
newValue = "New description";
findIncident( incidentID, newValue );
