Data Extension Functions

These functions allow access to the fields and rows contained within a data extension via server-side JavaScript.

Load

In your server-side JavaScript code, load the core library using this syntax:

Platform.Load("core","1");

Use this sample code as a model to construct your own server-side JavaScript code.

Enterprise and Enterprise 2.0 Account

These functions do not support the use of enterprise-level data extensions.

Initialization

To interact with a data extension via server-side JavaScript, you must first initialize the object. This code initializes a data extension with the external key of birthdayDE.

var birthdayDE = DataExtension.Init("birthdayDE");

Once you initialize a data extension, you can use the Fields and Rows sub-objects in your server-side JavaScript code.
