We assume that you have run Valuemation and logged in correctly before starting this code. oVM variable now holds Application object. See Login Syntax for the section of the opening code.

oVal = oVM.getMainParameter("windowSetting", "winWidth")

MsgBox oVal 'displays for example "1280"

'sets the user parameter "winWidth" for the currently logged user from the original "win-dowSetting" ‘collection to 640

oVM.setMainParameter("windowSetting", "winWidth", 640, false)
