Jumping Forward (X number) of Records

[MatthewS]

I am trying to create a script that will allow users to jump forward ten records within a found set. Is there anyway of doing this?

I have buttons for go to record next,last, first etc but would like the option to jump forward and back 10 records within a found set.

How about this?

Freeze Window

Set Field (gLoop, 0)

Loop

Go to Record (Next, Exit After Last)

Set Field (gLoop, gLoop +1)

Exit Loop If (gLoop=10)

End Loop

Or use a global gTarget (num)

SetField[gTarget, Case(Status(CurrentRecordNumber)>=10,Status(CurrentRecordNumber)-10,1)]

GoToRecord[byFieldValue, gTarget]

Hmm. I'm thinking Ugo meant to put +10 not -10.

Set Field [gTarget, Case(Status(CurrentRecordNumber) + 10 < Status(CurrentFoundCount), Status(CurrentRecordNumber) + 10, Status(CurrentFoundCount))]

Go to Record/Request/Page [by Field Value, gTarget]

Yeah.

I always had problems with my Right and Left. This is same with Backward and Forward, which is probably why I never succeeded in earing a whole tape.

Though as Matthew asked to jump Backward AND Forward, he now has a complete answer.
