No, In the form with private DS I call a method of the main application object, that opens cursor in Default DS. I need to access a value from that cursor in the form. The current code uses

set datasession to 1

...

then restores the datasession using saved transform of the set('datasessionID')

set datasession to &lcOldDS

I think it's not a very good code and looking for alternative methods.
