Performing find based on value of a field

[wireshop]

How does one perform a find based on the contents of a field and what is the syntax?

for example find a PO based on the global field gPO

Thanks.

Create a script with the following steps, assuming the purchase order field is named "PO"...

Enter find mode []

Set Field [PO; gPO]

Perform Find []

oh thanks I was trying to pass the find parameters in the perform find[] script step. I feel silly.

Isolated seen could it be done without the global at all, just take the cursor and mark the part of the fields content you wish to find. Then press right button on the mouse, and select the "Find Matching Records" in the dialog. No need to turn into findmode at all, a new found set is made.

This is an uttely fast way to get all the Jones, who live somewhere by constraining instead the second time you mark something with the cursor.
