Debugging Calculation Fields and Custom Functions

FileMaker Advanced should allow step-throughs of calculation fields and custom functions. Currently this is available only for scripts. My functions can be quite complex, and it's a pain to debug them manually. Here's an example (and I'm not going to explain the symbols because that's not the point);)

Let ( [cp_atTX = Specific_Heat ( TX_K; T0_K; T1_K; T2_K; T3_K; T4_K; cp_atT1; cp_atT2; cp_atT3; cp_atT4; n_max_vibration; T1_endpoint_K; T2_endpoint_K; T3_endpoint_K; T4_endpoint_K; nt; cp_i ) ] ;

Case

(

TX_K ≤ Round(T0_K ; 2) ; .248362 * Erf(.707105 * TX_K - .707105 * T0_K) + .248362 * Erf(.707105 * T0_K) ;

TX_K < Round(midpoint_T0_T1 ; 2) ; Enthalpy ( TX_K; cp_atTX; T0_K; T1_K; T2_K; T3_K; T4_K; enthalpy_0_to_T0; enthalpy_T0_to_T1; enthalpy_T1_to_T2; enthalpy_T2_to_T3; enthalpy_T3_to_T4; n_max_vibration; T1_endpoint_K; T2_endpoint_K; T3_endpoint_K; T4_endpoint_K; cp_atT1; cp_atT2; cp_atT3; cp_atT4; cp_i )+ .248363 * Erf(.707107 * TX_K - .707107 * T0_K) ;

I'd like to be able to step-through each line and be able to see the values of selected variables.

you can use the DataViewer and comment/uncomment lines with // symbol.

Additionally, you could also buy a keyboard with a carriage return key ;)

LOLz.

Who needs a carriage return?!

I formatted OP just for fun. Somehow seeing it all ordered and legible made it all the more horrifying.

It's a Cthalhulation, not a calculation.

Also, I wish for this feature as well.
