Control script steps
Control script steps control the progression of the script by letting you tell FileMaker Pro
exactly what to do when and if specific conditions occur.
Use these script steps to:
• call scripts and sub-scripts
• pause and resume a script, based on defined conditions
• conditionally perform script steps using if/then/else logic
• stop a script before it's finished, if a specific condition is met
• create loops that repetitively carry out a sequence of steps in a script, until a condition
is met
