Getting the VariableInstance objects for a field
You can access all of the VariableInstance objects that relate to a particular field using the Variables property. All the different types of objects that can be contained in a Fields collection have a Variables property.
Example
This mrScriptBasic code displays the full names of all of the VariableInstance objects associated with the Rating grid in the Museum sample:
Dim MyDocument, MyVariableInstance
Set MyDocument = CreateObject("MDM.Document")
MyDocument.Open("C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\7\DDL\Data\Data Collection File\museum.mdd", , _
MDMLib.openConstants.oREAD)
For Each MyVariableInstance In MyDocument.Fields["Rating.Column"].Variables
Debug.Log(MyVariableInstance.FullName)
Next
