ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 12
Control script steps
Control script steps control the progression of the script by letting you tell FileMaker Pro exactly
what to do when and if specific conditions occur.
Use these script steps to:
• call scripts and sub-scripts
• pause and resume a script, based on defined conditions
• conditionally perform script steps using if/then/else logic
• stop a script before it's finished, if a specific condition is met
• create loops that repetitively carry out a sequence of steps in a script, until a condition is
met
Note When you perform a script that uses the Get(LastError) function with control script steps, the
following control script steps do not clear the last error condition reported by FileMaker
Pro: If, Else,
Else If, End If, Loop, Exit Loop If, End Loop, Exit Script, and Halt Script.
