import from FM file works in 'Pro', doesn't in 'Runtime'

[tomp]

I have a script that imports data from another FM file (same vintage).

 

When testing it before creating the runtime, all data is properly imported.

Then when running the script in Runtime, most of the records are ignored and I get only a subset of the records that should have been imported.

 

Is this a data issue? Does Import in Runtime operate differently than in FM Pro?

What should I look for?

The rules on which records are imported are based on whether the source is hosted or not.

 

1. If the file is hosted by FMPro or FMS then ALL records will be imported

2. If the file is not hosted (i.e. just on your desktop) then the records imported are the current found set in the source.

 

You need a way to tell your runtime to SHOW ALL records in the source before performing the import. You will need a script step in the source to perform the appropriate go to layout and show all steps.
