Description

sm_ldb_getfield gets the contents of an entry or array occurrence in the specified LDB. This function is not callable from JPL code. This function and its variants let you specify an LDB by name or by handle. The LDB must be among one of the LDBs loaded into memory. If multiple instances of the same LDB are loaded, you can get the value from the desired instance by specifying its handle; if you specify the LDB by name, Panther gets the value from the last-loaded instance.
