NTPGetFieldNameFromDatabase ( <ReportName>, <ServerName>, <DatabaseName> <FieldNr>, <FieldNameBuffer> ) -> <ErrorCode>

 

 

Description

 

Retrieves the "nth" field name in a report definition. In order for the selected report name to be recorded, a buffer produced by Lotus Script  must be passed to the command. This function reads a field name contained in a report definition saved in a Notes database. If a field name is to be read from a report saved on the file system, use the function NTPGetFieldName instead.
