Options 
 •
Perform without dialog prevents a dialog box from displaying when the script step executes; the dialog lets the user enter the number of records to be omitted.
When Perform without dialog is selected, if you do not specify the number of records, only the current record is omitted.
 •
Specify records specifies the exact number of records you want to omit. The calculation result must be a number.
