Hi,
could anyone please tell me whether it is somehow possible to gain access to an abap Internal Table at runtime (using javascript)? If not, is there a way to "copy" all the data from an Internal Table (e.g.: with 2 fields & 10 rows) to a 2-dimensional (2x10) javascript table? I've got some data (kept in an IT) that I need to have access to (at runtime) & I have no clue how I should work this one out.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
T.M.

Because LiveCycle forms are XML based, they have the wonderful property of being completely exposed to JavaScript access. So yes, you can get to anything in a LiveCycle form with JS at runtime.

To do this you need to know the SOM path to the resource you're looking for. Take a look at the Hierarchy window. It contains a good deal of this information. Another way to get a handle on the SOM path is to select a form element and then look at the Scripting window. Select any event and you'll see the SOM path at the top of the script. For accessing nodes that are not fields, you can look at the XML view.

There are some document that can help, including the SOM reference at:
