Get functions example
This script uses the function Get(CurrentDate) to check each record in the found set to see if an
account is past due. If an account is past due, the script shows a message and prompts the user to
click a button labeled Ignore, Send Letter, or Send Mail (set up through the Show Custom Dialog
script step). The script captures the user's response using
Get(LastMessageChoice). Then,
based on the user's response, the script performs an action: it cancels the rest of the script, prints a
"payment is late" letter, or sends email to the associated account.
