FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 23
Loop
Purpose
Repeats a set of script steps.
Format
Loop
Options
None.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
This script step and the End Loop script step mark the beginning and end of a repeating structure of
script steps. The Manage Scripts feature performs the script steps that are enclosed within the loop
structure until it encounters one of the following:
• an Exit Loop If script step
• a Go to Record/Request/Page script step or Go to Portal Row script step when the Exit
Loop After First/Last option is selected
Every Loop step must have a corresponding End Loop step somewhere after the Loop step and at
the same indentation. Whenever you use a Loop script step, the Manage Scripts feature
automatically enters an End Loop step.
Examples
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
Set Field [Table1::Bonus; 2500.00]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Next]
Exit Loop if [Get (RecordNumber) = 25]
End Loop
