Options
Click Specify to specify a value in the Specify Calculation dialog box. The value is typically based
on the state of the current script. The value is passed back to the calling script, where it can control
the script’s logic.
Compatibility
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
If the optional script result is specified, the script result is returned and stored in the main script until
another sub-script that returns a value is called. The script result gets deleted when you exit the
main script. The script result can be stored in a local or global variable for later use.
