    I have a multidimensional array declared in my Start node named “arrOwesMoney”.

     

    Using the following Assign node JavaScript expression to fill the array,   

     

    arrOwesMoney.push(

                                          {Contact: '',

                                           EID: '',

                                           EmpName: '',

                                           Position: '',

                                           TermDate: '',

                                           Type: '',

                                           BeginDate: '',

                                           EndDate: '',

                                           OrgAmt: } );

      

    Once I have completed filling the array.  I am trying to use a For Each activity node to loop through the array. To test my For Each loop named “ForEach2440” I have a MsgBuilder node which I am trying to access the values of the array. I have been unsuccessful in accessing the values using the ForEach2440_arrayValue property. The Infor Process Designer Help does not provide an example. Can anyone help me with the correct syntax?

      hard to tell, since can't see how you defined the array or what you're trying to do in a MsgBuilder. I haven't used the for each node yet.

      I've done similar...using pipe separated, tilde delimited strings...looping thru using a branch and a counter. When i'm at the point of pulling individual fields out of the string i'll assigning the field to a local var within the js, THEN assign the local var to a global var outside of the js. This makes the value available to the work unit.

      Ex:
      js function - inDataArray = inData.split("~"), var x1 = inDataArray[0]

      followed by "r1 = x1" as a normal assignment.

      This works for my situation in a number of flows I've created.
