The dvm:lookupValue function returns a string by looking up the value for the target column in a domain value map, where the source column contains the given source value.

• The following code shows an example of dvm:lookupValue function syntax.

  dvm:lookupValue(dvmMetadataURI as string, SourceColumnName as string,
   SourceValue as string, TargetColumnName as string, DefaultValue as string) as
   string
  

  The following code provides an example of dvm:lookupValue function use.

  dvm:lookupValue('cityMap.dvm','CityCodes','BO', 'CityNames',
  'CouldNotBeFound')
  

• The following code shows another example of dvm:lookupValue function syntax:

  dvm:lookupValue(dvmMetadataURI as string, SourceColumnName as string,
  SourceValue as string, TargetColumnName as string, DefaultValue as string,
  (QualifierSourceColumn as string, QualifierSourceValue as string)*) as string
  

  The following code provides another example of dvm:lookupValue function use:

  dvm:lookupValue ('cityMap.dvm','CityCodes','BO','CityNames',
   'CouldNotBeFound', 'State', 'Massachusetts')
