Lookup multiple values

So I'm doing a lookup for multiple values, so similar to the following:

...| lookup entity OUTPUT x as XX y as YY

How can I do this with multiple values. Like instead would it be:

...| lookup entity OUTPUT x as XX AND y as YY

However I have tried both and neither has worked. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

You can list as many lookup and output fields as you like:

... | lookup <lookup-table-name> <lookup-field1> AS <local-field1>, <lookup-field2> AS <local-field2> OUTPUT <lookup-destfield1> AS <local-destfield1>, <lookup-destfield2> AS <local-destfield2> 

No need to link them with AND.

Hi martin_mueller,

What should be the query if we need to perform the search on same local-field?

lookup lookup-table-name lookup-field1 AS local-field1, lookup-field2 AS local-field1
OUTPUT lookup-field1, lookup-field2, lookup-field3

Here lookup-field3 is corresponding field in lookup table.
I have tried the above format, but it says no results found!!

Thanks in advance.

You don't need the second "EntityKey OUTPUT" thing. This should work just fine. (see the syntax mentioned in @martin's answer.

| lookup local=1 XXX_Lookup_2 EntityKey OUTPUT Paymenttransactionkey as Paymenttranstemp, DISPLAYTRANSACTIONID as OPICTemp

This doesnt work. I get: "Error in 'lookup' command: Could not find all of the specified destination fields in the lookup table."

My lookup now looks like:

| lookup local=1 XXX_Lookup_2 EntityKey OUTPUT Paymenttransactionkey as Paymenttranstemp, EntityKey OUTPUT DISPLAYTRANSACTIONID as OPICTemp
