FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 30
Go to Record/Request/Page
Purpose
In Browse mode, moves to a record in the found set. In Find mode, displays a find request. In
Preview mode, moves to a page in a report.
Format
Go to Record/Request/Page [<first/last/previous/next/by calculation>]
Options
Specify lets you choose from the following options.
• First moves to the first record in the file or found set, displays the first find request, or
moves to the first page in a report.
• Last moves to the last record in the file or found set, displays the last find request, or moves
to the last page in a report.
• Previous moves to the previous record in the file or found set, displays the previous find
request, or moves to the previous page in a report. Exit after last tells FileMaker Pro to stop
the script when it reaches the last record in the found set. You can use Exit after last with
the Loop script step to exit out of a loop after the last record.
• Next moves to the next record in the file or found set, displays the next find request, or
moves to the next page in a report. Exit after last tells FileMaker Pro to exit the script or
control structure (like a loop) when it reaches the last record in the found set.
• By Calculation lets you create a calculation to determine the index number for the desired
record, find request, or page in Preview mode.
Note Exit after last will exit a loop but does not stop or exit a script.
Compatibility
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Examples

This command uses a calculation to determine the correct number:
