Linking scripts

[peronn]

Well, i'm stuck!

This is the problem.

I have a couple of scripts working togheter. The first one looks like this.

Go to record - First

Loop

If (check = "A")

Set field (temp; someText)

Perform Script (Script 2)

Else If

Set field (temp; somethingElse)

Perform Script (Script 2)

End If

Go to record (Next; Exit after last)

End Loop

Then in script 2 theres a couple of other arguments and if's but it calls a third script.

The problem is that when i let "chain" go to the third script (1 -> 2 -> 3) then it won't continue looping in the first script. But if i replace the 2 or 3 script with a simple one just displaying a custom dialog then it works fine.

My question is if there is any condition that forces the script to continue or if any one has any guesses why it stops?

I believe we would need to know what scripts 2 and 3 do (particularly 2), but a thought ...

If it works with just a simple Custom Dialog display (which doesn't require a test), that indicates to me that an Else condition is being missed in your sub-script logic. Check your sub-script If[] tests carefully. You may need an Exit Script within an If[] to force early termination and return to 1.

I will check else and if's and if that doesn't help i'll publish the completescripts!

Thanks!

I missed seeing this the first time. Why do you have an Else If with no test? I assumed it was an Else first time I read it. Without a test, this boolean will always evaluate as false and that Set Field [ ] will never happen.

I solved it!

While checking my if conditions i found the problem. After the 2 script was executed and the process returned to the 1 script there was a go to next exit after last script step. The problem was that in one of the linked scripts i changed layout but never changed back. The problem was solved by adding a Go To Layout (a name) after returning from the 2 script.

I'm quite happy that i found it so quickly since this is a monster of a script. 7 scripts in all linked together.

Thanks for the help!
