Adding menu functionality to Inotes depending on profile document entries

I am trying to add some functionality to Inotes using the Formsxx_9.ntf.

I have succeeded in adding some menu entries which will start agents in the users mail application.

What i am trying to do now is to switch the menu entries on or off depending on etries in a specific profile document in the application.

What i understood from studying Forms_9.ntf and the available documentation (Redbook) is that INotes gives me access to profile documents using this code. @DbCommand("haiku";"h_GetProfileField";"calendarprofile";"Owner")

so i tried the following in the Custom_JS_Lite subform in Forms9_x.nsf

 in this function

function Custom_Scene_Actions_Lite(s_MenuID)

...

 // Fetch myProfile document values
    var myAction = {@DbCommand("Haiku";"h_GetProfileField";"myProfile";"myAction")};
    alert("myAction var: " + myAction);

... Before i add the menu items to the menu.

But i am obviously missing something here. Because loading this code results in having a blank Inotes Screen.

So what am i missing?

And it ist not the alert that is giving me trouble. If i remove this line and add only the first one the result is the same.

Thank you in advance for anserring this question.

Try this
You shouldn't put user-specific data in Custom_JS_Lite, because that subform is cached on the server.  Instead, user-specific data should be in SessionInfo.  You can add data to SessionInfo with the Custom_SessionInfo subform.  Remove the <NotesComment> tags around the contents and insert your code there.  

Try something like this:

// Example code that sets mail view as the only area
function com_ibm_dwa_haiku_Custom(){
//        this.sAreas='010000';
this.myAction  = '<dwa:getprofilefield profilename="iNotesProfile" fieldname="MailSort" jsdata="yes" />';

       
}
(function() {
        var haiku_lite = com_ibm_dwa_haiku;
        com_ibm_dwa_haiku = function() {
                haiku_lite.apply(this, arguments);
                com_ibm_dwa_haiku_Custom.apply(this, arguments);
        };
        com_ibm_dwa_haiku.prototype = haiku_lite.prototype;
})();


Then, in Custom_Scene_Actions_Lite, you can check the value of haiku.myAction.
