How to get current DCR name from an inline call

normski

Is it possible to get the name of the DCR from an inline call. I know you get the DCT path, the user name and role. But is it possible somehow to get the name of the DCR.

tks

U can use" var dcrName = IWDCRInfo.getDCRName(); " on formApi for that.

I thought formApi was avaiable only fromjavascript.

This is a snippet from my dct

<item name="name" rowcontinue="f">
<label>name</label>
<database data-type="CHAR(6)" />
<description>Select the property name</description>
<select required="t">
<inline command="/apps/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl /apps/iw-home/custom/ffe_load_dynamic_options.ipl premiumtext"/>
</select>
</item>

my perl script 'ffe_load_dynamic_options.ipl' needs to know the name of the dcr being loaded. In the environment variable list we have the parameters
IW_DCT, IW_WORKAREA, IW_USER and IW_ROLE but there is nothing for the dcr name. If it is possible to use form ipi from my perl script how would I do this?

I do not believe you can get the name of the DCR from an inline callout - since an inline callout is used at the time of building up the DCT structure without regard to the DCR that will then populate that structure in a later phase of the rendering process.

What are you trying to do?
Why do you believe you need the name of the DCR in an inline callout?

As mentioned already - you can get this information using FormAPI - which happens at a later stage in the overall process of DCT/DCR rendering.
You can also get this information in [non-inline] callouts - but that requires user-interaction (which I'm assuming you don't want to require).
