Can't Constrain-Omit in a script?

[Rob Halliday]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script which removes a specified item from a found set, ie. the found set contains

1

2

The user specifies '1' as the item to remove, now the found set just contains

2

I can do this 'manually' -

enter find mode

put '1' in the relevant field

select omit

constrain found set

But I don't seem to be able to do it in a script since I can't put a field value (my input field) into the constrain found set dialogue box, and if I just set that box to be 'omit' with nothing in 'omit records when', nothing happens.

This feels like one of those things that should be easy but involves some kind of trick.

Anyone care to share that trick? Or am I just missing something obvious?

Thanks,

Rob.
