Format
Go to Record/Request/Page [<First/Last/Previous/Next/By Calculation>]
Options
•First moves to the first record in the file or
found set (Browse mode), displays the first
find request (Find mode), or moves to the first page in a report (Preview mode).
•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 specifies a calculation to determine the desired record number, find request number, or page number. Set With dialog to On to display the number in a dialog box for confirmation.
