Valid names used in query strings 85
–max (Maximum records) query parameter
Specifies the maximum number of records you want returned
Value is: A number, or use the value all to return all records. The value all must be specified in lowercase.
If –max is not specified, all records are returned.
Optional with: –find or –findall query commands
Examples:
http://192.168.123.101/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-db=employees&-lay=departments&-max=10&-findall
http://192.168.123.101/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-db=employees&-lay=departments&-max=all&-findall
–modid (Modification ID) query parameter
The modification ID is an incremental counter that specifies the current version of a record. By specifying a
modification ID when you use an –edit query command, you can make sure that you are editing the current
version of a record. If the modification ID value you specify does not match the current modification ID value
in the database, the –edit query command is not allowed and an error code is returned.
Value is: A modification ID, which is a unique identifier for the current version of a record in a FileMaker
database.
Optional with: –edit query command
Requires: –recid parameter
Example:
http://192.168.123.101/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-db=employees&-lay=departments&-recid=22&-modid=6
&last_name=Jones&-edit
–recid (Record ID) query parameter
Specifies the record you want processed. Used mainly by the –edit, and –delete query commands.
Value is: A record ID, which is a unique specifier to a record in a FileMaker database
Required with: –edit, –delete, and –dup query commands
Optional with: –find query command
Example:
http://192.168.123.101/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-db=employees&-lay=departments&-recid=22&-delete
–script (Script) query parameter
Specifies the FileMaker script to run after the query command and sorting are executed. See “Understanding
how an XML request is processed” on page 35.
Value is: Script name
Optional with: all query commands, except –dbnames, –layoutnames, –process, and –scriptnames
Example:
http://192.168.123.101/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-db=employees&-lay=departments&-script=myscript&-findall
