I have a dynaform with lots(!) of variables.
I want to be able to store form data so next time the user won't have to fill it out again.

One solution I thought about is to save in another database the APP_DATA field of the APPLICATION table. and then inject it to a new case.
It works, but in this way I clone all the variables as a whole. and it is not good for me because I want to see the diff between the loaded variables to the new variables.

Is there a way to programmatically iterate through all form variables and read/set them?

Thanks

Hi roy501,

What you need is next time user starts variables will be filled up with previous information?

[roy501]

No,
What I need is to populate all process variables from an external database.

for example, I have a variable in the process called @@text3,
From an external database i got an array of variables and values.
I want to populate the process variables from the database, something like this:

$varName ="text3";
$varValue ="Some Text";

@@$varName = $varValue;

this is not working of course, so what is the propper way to achive this?

I found the solution, so I thought it would be worth to share

You can create an array which its keys are the name of a @@ variable. and then use the PMSendVariables function to populate the variables

code example:

$aData = array('Text1' => 'Acme Blender #2', 'Price' => 27.40, 'OrderDate' => '2010-12-31');
PMFSendVariables(@@APPLICATION, $aData);
