Enter Find Info via a script

[fmsavey]

I have a script that looks like this...

Enter Find Mode []

Set Field [table1::number; ">=" & table1::global]

Perform Find []

The set field does not work? I'm trying to enter the operators >= and a number from a global field. The field table1::number is a calculation field but that should not matter right?

Correct, it doesn't matter that it's a calculation.

Is the field getting set to anything or is it just blank after the Set Field step runs?

When using symbols in a scripted find, you need to use Insert Calculated Result instead of Set Field. Note that ICR needs the field to be on the current layout.

Not since v.7.

The field is just blank. I've tried setting the field equal to just the global and that does not work either. I've also made sure that entry is allowed in find mode.

Problem resolved. I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot to define the global field as a global. What threw me though was the fact that not even the ">=" was entered in the field.

Thanks to everyone who responded.
