Get(RecordModificationCount)
Format
Get(RecordModificationCount)
Parameter
None
Data type returned
number
Description
Returns the total number of times changes to the current record have been committed. To
commit changes, you can, for example:
• click out of all fields (exit the record)
• go to a different record
• enter Find mode
If multiple windows are open, clicking in another window does not commit the record.
Notes
• If the current calculation is stored and you specify its context, this function will be
evaluated based on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context
of the current window.
• See FileMaker Pro Help for information about running scripts in client/server and
peer-to-peer environments.
• Get(RecordModificationCount)returns NULL for ODBC data sources.
Example
Returns 0 if the record has not been modified since it was created.
If changes are made to four fields and all four fields are committed together, the result
increments by one. If changes are made to four fields and each change is committed
separately, the result increments by four.
