Fields script steps

ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 76
Example 1
Inserts the sum of the invoices' grand totals into the Statistics field.
Set Field [Customers::Statistics; Sum ( Invoices::Grand Total )]
Example 2
Demonstrates when to use Set Field instead of Set Field By Name to simplify scripts.
#If the target field does not change, use the Set Field script step.
Set Field [Customers::Work Phone; Credit Collection::Phone Number]
#If you use Set Field by Name with a target field that does not change,
#you must surround the target field in quotation marks so it evaluates as
a literal string
#and returns the specified field name. If you do not use quotation marks,
#Set Field by Name evaluates the specified field and uses the result as
the target field.
#If the result does not specify a field name, nothing happens.
Set Field by Name ["Customers::Work Phone"; Credit Collection::Phone
Number]
