Get Layout Custom Field Info

Bruce · ‎2022-10-19

Is there any way to retrieve the content of Custom Fields in the Layout Info Scheme? I've tried copying and pasting the autotext (in this case <LAYOUTCUSTOMPAR8>) into the TEXT2 command, but that doesn't work for custom fields.

REQUEST ("HomeDB_info"... doesn't give me the data I'm looking for either.

Is there some other way to retrieve (in GDL) the content of these scheme fields?
