Copy Record/Request
Purpose 
Copies the values of a record or find request to the Clipboard.
Format 
Copy Record/Request
Options 
None.
Compatibility 
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Description 
Text fields are copied in tab-delimited format, without styles, in the order they appear in the record layout. Text in container fields is also copied. (This script step is equivalent to choosing Copy from the Edit menu when there is no active field.)
Note  When using the Copy Record/Request step with repeating fields, FileMaker Pro inserts the group separator character between each repetition. You can use a text editor to replace these characters with another delimiter such as a tab or space.
Examples 
This script finds and sorts a set of records, switches to the Data Entry layout, goes to the last record, copies the entire record, switches layouts and tables, creates a new record, and pastes the contents of the Clipboard to the History field.
