Hello everyone,

I am new to using object structure automation scripts but with the IBM documentation i have figured out how to do a simple validation before data gets written in the objects:

function beforeMboData(ctx) {
    structData = ctx.getData();
    if (structData.getCurrentData("SERVRECTRANSID")) {
        ctx.error("servrectrans", "nofillservrecid")
    }
}

Now i am trying to validate if a combination of two fields in the object structure is repeated in others lines but i havent figured out how to do a "for" or a "while" with all the object structure data. I was thinking something like this:

function beforeMboData(ctx) {
    x = 0;
    while 
       /-- Variables should be compared here  --/
           /-- If variables are found in another line --/
           x = 1;
     
    if (x == 1) {
        ctx.error("servrectrans", "repeatcodserv")
    }
}

Any advice will be helpful.

PD: English is not my main language, sorry for the grammar.

Hi Arturo,

Could you explain what your use case is in a bit more detail so we understand the requirement?

It sounds to me like you just need a link to the API documentation for StructureData. You can get to it from this APIs and SDKs page, which has links to other good resources, too. The JavaDocs are for Maximo 7.6.0.9, but they should be mostly reliable for any 7.x version.
