fm12 help with following script
set error capture
go to layout
show all records
enter find mode
loop
replace field contents
end loop
go to layout
enter browse mode
show all records
exit script
1 - can not figure out how to enter a new record in another file
2 - script keeps showing "ESC" and wont finish until i press esc
3 - how do i return to original record? keeps bringing me to record 0
i do have "perform find" after "enter find" on my script just didnt show on post - it does find requested record and makes requested changes - thought "end loop" would stop loop! - want to make a new record in another file layout - then return to original layout record i was on
added "go to record next exit after last" does what requested of it - only question is what control do i use to enter a new record in a layout in another file
You shouldn't need both a loop and replace field contents. Replace field contents modifies the specified field for every record in your found set so there's no need for a loop.
Your scritp has numerous errors--including a loop that does not have an exit If or other step to exit the loop--and so it loops until you use esc to abort the script.
It also enters find mode but then does not perform a find--returning to browse mode without actually making any changes to your database.
What are you trying to do with this script?
