scriptExact match Search

[nandito]

This should be a simple question, but I cannot figure out how to do it.

I have a table with close to 20,000 records. I have a field called "ItemNumber". I want to do a search that matches the field contents exactly. For example:

I have item numbers

ABC123

XYZ345

I want to do a search where if I type "ABC", since there is no exact match for item "ABC" I would like it to return 0 records. In other words I want to match the full contents of the field, not a partial match.

My search script goes into Find Mode, sets the ItemNuber field to the global search field and does the perform find.

In addition, if it returns 0 records, can I script to supress the window that tells me "No records were found" and asks whether to modify the search, cancel or continue.

Basically I want to embed in the script that if 0 records were found, then it will perform a set of tasks. All without user interaction.

Can this be done?

Thanks.

SetField[ Table::ItemNumber ; "==" & SomeTable::GlobalSearchField ]

Thank you. That did the job perfectly. I appreciate your help.

I am still having issues when there are 0 records found. I would prefer NOT to see the FM window that says: "No records found..." with options "Modify Search", "Continue" or "Cancel". Is it possible to have this not show up? I have a script test after that says If get(FoundCount)=0 it will perform a set of actions.

Thanks.

I figured out how to do it!! I have to Set the Error Capture to ON, and then after my Perform find scrip step, I have an If statement Get(lasterror)=401 that means my count is zero.

Great stuff.
