Get functions
Get functions monitor errors in scripts, or capture information about file status or actions being
performed.
Many Get functions return information that changes on a regular basis. For example, when the
Get(CurrentTime) function is placed in a stored calculation field, the time will update only when a
new record is created. If the calculation has other fields in it but the calculation result still returns the
current time, the stored calculation result will update only when those other fields have been
modified in the current record. If either of these calculations are
unstored, the time will update as
needed. For performance reasons, making a calculation field unstored is not always the best idea.
Get functions are best used in a script where the status information from a Get function is up-to-date
at the moment that the calculation is run.
Note For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the
FileMaker Knowledge Base available at
http://help.filemaker.com.

Get(ActiveModifierKeys) A number for the keyboard modifier keys being pressed.
Get(ActivePortalRowNumber) The number of the portal row that has the focus.
Get(ActiveRepetitionNumber) A number representing the repetition that has the focus in a
repeating field.
