Get functions example
This script uses the function Get(CurrentDate) to check each record in the found set
to see if an account is past due. If an account is past due, the script shows a message
and prompts the user to click a button labeled Ignore, Send letter, or Send mail (set up
through the Show Custom Dialog script step). The script captures the user's response
using Get(LastMessageChoice). Then, based on the user's response, the script
performs an action: it cancels the rest of the script, prints a "payment is late" letter, or
sends email to the associated account.
