ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 43
Go to Record/Request/Page
Purpose
Moves to a record or a report page, or displays a find request.
Format
Go to Record/Request/Page [<First/Last/Previous/Next/By calculation>]
Options
• First moves to the first record in the file or found set (Browse mode), displays the first find
request (Find mode), or moves to the first page in a report (Preview mode).
• Last moves to the last record in the file or found set, displays the last find request, or moves
to the last page in a report.
• Previous moves to the previous record in the file or found set, displays the previous find
request, or moves to the previous page in a report. Exit after last tells FileMaker
Pro to stop
the script when it reaches the last record in the found set. You can use Exit after last with
the Loop script step to exit out of a loop after the last record.
• Next moves to the next record in the file or found set, displays the next find request, or
moves to the next page in a report. Exit after last tells FileMaker
Pro to exit the script or
control structure (like a loop) when it reaches the last record in the found set.
• By Calculation specifies a calculation to determine the desired record number, find request
number, or page number.
