ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 84
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 13.0
Description
This script step enters content into a container field from a music library, photo library, camera, video
camera, microphone, or signature; or enters content into a container field or text field from a bar
code source.
• FileMaker Go does not support all types of bar codes.
• If the target field is a repeating field, you can specify a repetition number or generate a
repetition number from a calculated expression.
• If the target field is a text field, only the text value of the bar code is inserted into the field.
• If the target field is a container field, an image of the bar code is inserted into the field. The
text value of the bar code is also stored in the field. You can retrieve the text value of the bar
code with the GetAsText function. You can retrieve the bar code type with the
GetContainerAttribute function.
Notes
• In the script editing pane, the selected bar code types are not displayed. To see all settings,
print the script or use the Database Design Report (FileMaker
Pro Advanced).
• In the Bar Code Options dialog box, select:
• EAN-13 to scan ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 bar codes. Also select ISBN-10 (from EAN-13) if
you need to convert a scanned ISBN-13 bar code to the ISBN-10 type.
• EAN-13 as well as UPC-A or UPC-E to scan UPC-A or UPC-E bar codes.
• For more information on scanning bar codes, see FILEMAKER GO DEVELOPMENT GUIDE.
