If Field Loop Multiple Records

[R81]

Hello,

I need to create a script to search all records in a found set and if a particular field for each are all the same value (0) then 'do something'.

To illustrate what i need see the attached.  

Record 1 there are 32 in total, 27 have been delivered and 5 remain
Record 2 there are 3 in total, 1 has been delivered and 2 are remaining

When the script runs to reduce the delivery remaining count I want it to check if all records for this field are now at 0 and if they are 'do something'

I suspect that I need an IF statement and a LOOP through the records but it is the "IF DeliveryRemaining = 0" for all records which i am confused at.

Hope that makes sense and someone can help.

I am not sure I follow your description fully. It looks like you would want to perform Constrain Found Set (in a new window, to preserve your current found set) and see if any records are found.

Or, if you are looping, you could something like:

Go to Record [First ]
Loop
  If [ YourTable::DeliveryRemaining ]
    Set Variable [ $rem ; 1 ]
    Exit Loop If [ 1 ]
  End If
  Go to Record [Next; Exit after last ]
End Loop
If [ not $rem ]
  # ALL RECORDS  HAVE 0 REMAINING
End If

I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to create a summary field (maybe called sDeliveryRemaining' which is 'Total of DeliveryRemaining.  Then script could check this value as:

If [ not sDeliveryRemaining ]  ... then do 'the thing' you wish.

Sorry for the glitch.

Yet another option: sort the found records by the DeliveryRemaining field, ascending (or descending) and check the value of the last (or first) record.

Even better!

Great options! 

I will give the summary field a try later as that would probably fit easier to my script!

Thanks all.
