Description 

This script step is equivalent to a logical AND search. Otherwise, Constrain Found Set is similar to the Perform Find script step.

Notes 

If no records match the find criteria, this script step returns a found set of zero records.

Example 1 

Constrains the found set to paid invoices or shows all records.

Show Custom Dialog ["Display only paid invoices?"]
If [Get ( LastMessageChoice ) = 1]
Enter Find Mode [Pause: Off]
Set Field [Invoices::Status; "Paid"]
Constrain Found Set [ ]
Else
Show All Records
End If
