set next serial value

Featured Replies

Hello filemaker gurus!

i am trying to use the "set next serial value" function.

I have a field ,set as auto enter serial number.

So why it does not work?

Someone can check it? thanks!

It does work. What is it you wish to accomplish?

The Set Next Serial Value[] script step is not necessary for a basic serial number field, the Auto-Enter Serial Number field option takes care of that. That script step is only for resetting it to something else, usually only useful after an import into a new revision.

Ciao Stefano

l'errore di interpretazione non è dovuto a te, ma alla traduzione ( completamente fuorviante ) italiana della voce: "On Commit" che NON dovrebbe essere "su richiesta", ma "al salvataggio del record".

Come ti ha già detto Ender, l'incremento seriale funziona automaticamente alla creazione ( o al salvataggio ) di un nuovo record.

L'uso dello step: "definisci il prossimo numero di serie" può tornare utile quando si fanno delle importazioni di record.

Se a te interessa semplicemente incrementare di uno il valore di un campo tramite script, allora basta:

Definisci il campo ( tuoCampo ; tuoCampo + 1 )

-----------

For all other friends...

the Stefano's problem is a really bad traduction of the English "on commit", something near to "on request"

Hi Daniele,

You got all of that out of a file with one field, one button, and the name stefano.

I'm impressed with your clairvoyance.

Hi Lee

... and the Display Name: "filemakeruser07-[color:red]IT" :

BTW: I only think that the problem was it...the Italian version has some very strange errors of traduction, so most of us uses English version.
