Best practice for exiting scripts?

[Bruce Herbach]

What is the recommendation on using Exit Script at the end of all scripts.

I have found it useful for passing information back to a calling script, but should it be end of a script the script even when there is no data to pass back?

Thanks

It is only needed if you need to pass a value back to the calling script or escape the script in the middle.

I never used the Exit Script as all previous scripts were in FMP 5.5/6 and there was no support for parameter passing then. Instead I invented my own method using global fields.

FWIW I always allow my scripts to run to completion with properly nested If/Else constructs - just old habits really.

Yikes - Which of course it avoided just as swiftly as it entered your habits!
