I’m tying to make a script that creates x number of records. That number relays on a variable.

 

Is it possible to populate a variable directly? I mean is it possible to make that the script asks me... how many records do you want to create? and let me enter a value, or do I need a field (so a table-layout) to set the value to populate the variable?

 

Thank you.

The "show custom dialog" script step has an input option to do exactly what you have in mind.  The input goes into a field, you can use a global field for that so that it will work context-free,

Thanks for your answer Wim Decorte.

 

 

The questions was if can be made without the use of a field.

 

I don't want to make another table just for that, or maybe I should make one only for general purposes.

Try something along this script:

 

Enter Find Mode [ Pause ]

Set Variable [ $var ; Value: Get ( ActiveFieldContents ) ]

Enter Browse Mode [ ]

Show Custom Dialog [ $var ]
