Simple Scripted Find Question

[Mark L]

Real Newbie Developer Question:

I’m doing scripted report printing - and need to select data based on the current record that is on the layout – a pretty common occurrence. A very helpful person has suggested I do the following:

Enter Find Mode {}

Set Field [field1; globalfield1]

Set Field [field2; globalfield2]

Perform Find [] 

Were globalfield1 represents a matching global field for field1, etc.

Question:

This makes the assumption that the global field is set as a Calculated field that always is fieldname – no?

Thanks,

Mark

No, you have to first copy the value of the field1 and field2 to global fields and then run your script.

Thanks Sanjai.

Both you and the the friend I mentioned offered the same advice - and it makes perfect sense.

Thank you,

Mark
