"Data.Get.ND" also returns two none-standard ND properties -

·

Container = container of the object

·

NDSpath = full NDS path to object (use with Novell commands such as Nov.DS.Object.SetProperty)

Add [Optional parameter]

Options: Add |

Add - Add data at the end of the [Data] section instead of replacing the entire [Data] section. This is useful when more than one Data.Get.ND command is used to get data from several different trees or containers.

Examples
1) Fill the [Data] section with user properties from the "MyOu" OU in "Elm\MyOrg", include data in subcontainers. Put container of the object in column 1, CN in column 2, given name in column 3, last name in column 4 and full name in column 5.
