custom function in version 5.0?

[divjak]

hi, in case there is no answer for my previous msg, im wonder if there anybody knows IF and in case of yes, HOW can i custom function in version FM 5.0.

(i want to use this function:

If (

IsEmpty ( GetRepetition ( RepeatingField ; StartingRepetition ) ) ;

StartingRepetition ;

Let (

StartingRepetition = StartingRepetition + 1 ;

FirstBlankRepetition ( RepeatingField ; StartingRepetition )

)

)

)

thanks a lot

Custom functions (and the let() function) were not available until FileMaker 7.

You might try using a script, or a calc to check each successive repetition. Or better yet, ditch the repeating field, and use a portal of related records.

hi,

yes, now i have it done with getrepetition <> 0, but it would be hard if there will be eg. 50 repetitions.

i will look for infos about portal record, i dont know anything about them yet.

thank you :-)

i have another small qwestion (i dont want to start new topic for something like this). where i can find how to make script which tell to find all records which have on radio-button field checked "yes"?

thanks :

It's just like any other find:

Enter Find Mode []

Set Field [ field , "Yes" ]

Perform Find []

Hi Ender,

To add to this:

Custom functions (and the let() function) were not available until FileMaker 7.

You will need to have the Developer/Advance Edition in order to write a Custom Function.
