Re: Item

If you are looping a reasonably small number of times (your example shows 4) then a construct such as

   IF cVal.number = 1 THEN

      :myitem1 := cVal.databaseValue;
   ELSIF cVal.number = 2 THEN

      :myitem2 := cVal.databaseValue;
   ELSIF cVal.number = 3 THEN

      :myitem3 := cVal.databaseValue;
   ELSIF cVal.number = 4 THEN

      :myitem4 := cVal.databaseValue;
   END IF; should solve your problem. It's not elegant, but it should work.
