Reading values in an object table

[Fourn Patrick]

I hope I understand your question.
 
Do you mean reading multiple records from a database table?
 
If yes, then read the contents of your table into an internal table then
append this table to a multiline virtual attribute, instead of creating
multiple single line virtual attributes for each field you are trying to
read.
