Options
Specify lets you choose from the following options.
• First moves to the first record in the file or found set, displays the first find request, or
moves to the first page in a report.
• 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 lets you create a calculation to determine the index number for the
desired record, find request, or page in Preview mode.
Note Exit after last will exit a loop but does not stop or exit a script.
