Loop

Purpose 

Repeats a set of script steps.

Format 

Loop

Options 

None.

Compatibility 

This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.

Description 

This script step and the End Loop script step mark the beginning and end of a repeating structure of script steps. The Manage Scripts feature performs the script steps that are enclosed within the loop structure until it encounters one of the following:

•	an Exit Loop If script step

•	a Go to Record/Request/Page script step or Go to Portal Row script step when the Exit Loop After First/Last option is selected

Every Loop step must have a corresponding End Loop step somewhere after the Loop step and at the same indentation. Whenever you use a Loop script step, the Manage Scripts feature automatically enters an End Loop step.

Examples 

Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
Set Field [Table1::Bonus; 2500.00]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Next]
Exit Loop if [Get (RecordNumber) = 25]
End Loop
