$.udb(ds).name()

note

This article is about the name() function of the DataSourceContainer object.

$.udb(ds).name()​

Returns the name of the first data source in the container.

note

This function only returns the value of its 'Name' property from Web Designer. For referring to a data source in an embedded page, you'll need to use the .path() function. For calculating a relative path to that data source, use .pathTo().

Syntax​

$.udb( *ds* ).name()

The required ds is a data source selector.

Examples​

$.udb('EMP').name();

Result:
'EMP'
$.udb('Related DEPT page/DEPT').name();

Result:
'DEPT'
