Set oDataSegment = oDataSegment.GetDataSegmentByPos("LX\CLP\SVC\SVC")

'Get values from the first data element, which happens to be a composite (C003)
sServiceIdQlfr = oDataSegment.DataElementValue(1,1)
sServiceID = oDataSegment.DataElementValue(1,2)

' Get value from the second data element value.
sAmount = oDataSegment.DataElementValue(2)    

Example 2: Setting values

'create data segment
Set oSegment = oTransactionset.CreateDataSegment("LX\CLP\SVC\SVC")

'Assigning values to first data element, which happens to be a composite element (C003)
oSegment.DataElementValue(1,1) = sServiceIdQlfr
