If you have included the quantity and price with the data retrieved as part of the datawindow object you are using for the DDDW you can access it without another database call. Something like this (in itemchanged event):

datawindowchild dwc
string ls_name
long ll_row

IF Upper(dwo.Name) = "ITEM" THEN
    GetChild("item", dwc)
    ls_name = data
    dwc.SetFilter("name = '" + ls_name +"'" )
    dwc.Filter( ) // filter to specific row in dddw
    ll_row = dwc.RowCount( ) // How many? Use the last one.
    if ll_row > 0 then
        SetItem(row, "cost", GetItemDecimal('cost', ll_row))
        SetItem(row, "amount", GetItemDecimal('amount', ll_row))
    end if
end if

Code the following in the ÌtemChanged event of your detail datawindow (of course the code must be adapted to your specific situation):

decimal ld_qty, ld_unitprice

if Upper(dwo.name) <> 'ITEM' then
     return
end if
select qty, unit_price into :ld_qty, :ld_unitprice from your_table where your_table.key = data;

dw2.SetItem(row, 'your_dw_col_qty', ld_qty)
dw2.SetItem(row, 'your_dw_unit_price', ld_unitprice)
