Script Parameter & Target Field

[Phil Ershler]

Is there any way to use a script parameter to specify the target field of a script step?

Thanks

Absolutely! Just make your script parameter a calculation based on whatever logic is required to determine the target field.

In actuality the script parameter is the target field. Where I get stuck is that it seems all script steps require that target field is statically assigned when the script is put together.

Thanks

The target field can be dynamically assigned in a script but not a calculation. What is it exactly you'd like to accomplish? Do you have an example file?

If it's getting the value is it the calc:

GetField ( Quote ( Get ( ScriptParameter ) ))

If it's getting the cursor into the correct field:

Go to Field [  ] [ Select/perform ] 

Go to Next Field 

Loop 

Exit Loop If [ Get ( ActiveFieldName ) = Get ( ScriptParameter ) ] Go to Next Field 

End Loop

Obviously requirering a layout containing the fieldname!!!

Or hardcode it:

If [ get(scriptparameter) = "First Name" ]

Set Field [ First Name ; ]

Else If [ get(scriptparameter) = "Last Name" ]

Set Field [ Last Name ; ]

Else If [ get(scriptparameter) = "Address" ]

Set Field [ Address ; ]
