Script Steps Reference

23
Example
This example calculates a bonus for the top 10 sales agents based on their sales. The
script finds all records and sorts by a field called "Sales" (descending) to arrange the
agents by sales performance. The script starts at the first record and sets the loop counter
variable to 1 (in this example the loop counter field use is a number field with global
storage enabled -- this is the Count field in the example below). Then, the script calculates
the bonus as one quarter of the agent's salary. The script then goes to the next record and
exits the loop if the counter reaches 10. The loop counter increments by 1 and the loop
repeats.

Description
Marks the end of a Loop script structure. Whenever you use a Loop script step,
ScriptMaker™ automatically enters an End Loop step. The steps between Loop and End
Loop are automatically indented and the End Loop step is placed at the same indentation
level as its corresponding Loop step.
Example
Go to Record/Request/Page[First]
Loop
Set Field [Table1::Salary; Table1::Salary * 1.1]
Go to Record/Request/Page[Exit after last; Next]
End Loop
