Exit Script
Purpose
Forces sub-scripts or external scripts to stop immediately and return to the main script, with or
without an optional script result.
Format
Exit Script [Result: <value or formula>]
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

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

main script. The script result can be stored in a local or global variable for later use.
