I want to assign a textfield with a value based on the value of coap_flag.
So i need to loop through all the record and check the value of coap_flag and then assign the textfield a value based on that.
I am new to Adobe livecycle...Please help me how it can be done.
I have developed something like this
foreach Item in ($record.applicant[*].coap_flag) do
test.value=Item
if(test.value=="MA")then
concat($record.applicant.first_name,$record.applicant.middle_name)endif
endfor

Using the data you posted in the forum, I copied it a couple of times to give multiple records and used this code to extract the different values that you wanted. I had to wrap it in a <root> node that I called root (to make it valid XML). In my case I wrote the extracted values to a field, but in your case you can do whatever you want with them. Note that this was done in javascript:<br /><br />var currentElement;<br />var obj;<br /><br />//Get the nodes below the root node in the dataDom<br />obj = xfa.datasets.data.root.nodes;<br /><br />//Set an initial value for the textField<br />TextField1.rawValue = "The values of the coap_flag are: ";<br /><br />//Loop through the nodes in the obj set <br />for (i=0; i< obj.length ; i++){<br />     //set the currentElement to the 1st child node<br />     currentElement = obj.item(i);<br />     //Check to see if it is an applicant node<br />     if (currentElement.name == "applicant"){<br />          //It is an applican, now find the coap_flag node value and write it to the text field<br />          TextField1.rawValue += "\n" + xfa.resolveNode("xfa.datasets.data.root.applicant[" + i + "]").coap_flag.value;<br />     }<br />}
