Not exiting loop

[Aussie John]

Hi Im having trouble exiting my loop. Can any one help?

I am trying to create an entry which ISN'T one a value list that is assigned to that same global field. (gDuplicate Section Check)

please see the attachment for screen shot of scripting window.

Yep! The screen shot is too small to read so FMP can't tell when to go. (Probably from Qld!)

Now I'll try to be helpful - watch out!

Don't you need to store "Last error" somewhere in case it changes?

[Aussie John]

well yes the screen is hard to read but looks fine if you download it.

I'll look at storing the error code and see if that makes a difference. I assumed the error code stayed until it was replaced by something by another one.

[-Queue-]

FM Help says, Get(LastError) "returns a number representing the error, if any, in the execution of the most recently executed script step." So each script step updates the LastError. If you run, say,

Export Records

Loop

If [Get(LastError)]

there should never be an error since the Loop step produces no error. So you would want to capture the error in a global immediately following the Export step.

I found this yesterday, on a Canadian web page about Aussie beer... it's got nothing to do with your problem but might help explain OldFogie's post above...

XXXX because we can't spell Beer.

Go Queenslander!

Vaughan, how do I get a copy? Forget the FMP stuff.

Apologies to AJ for the geographical insult.
