Description
Leaves the current record out of the found set and places you on the next record in the
table. (The current record is temporarily hidden.) This step only operates in Browse mode
and Find mode. When the step is performed in Find mode, it causes the find request to
become an Omit request, as if the Omit checkbox had been selected.
Example
Show All Records
Omit Record
Show Omitted
Enter Preview Mode [Pause]
Omit Multiple Records
Format
Omit Multiple Records [No dialog; <number of records>]
Options
• Perform without dialog prevents a dialog box from displaying when the script step
executes that lets the user enter the number of records to be omitted.
When Perform without dialog is selected, if you do not specify the number of
records, only the current record is omitted.
• Select Specify records or click Specify to enter the exact number of records you
want to omit. You can also click the Specify button in the Options dialog box and
enter a calculation. The calculation result must be a number.
Web compatibility
