Simple conditional script for Filemaker

Question

I'm trying to create a script in filemaker that returns true if table::field = 1 for a certain dataentry, and false in all other cases. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can use the Set Variable script step to set a $$variable using the calculation engine to return true or false.

Answer 2

A script can return a value with the Exit Script step. To return a Boolean value set the step's result to your expression: Table::Field = 1. The Table::Field must be accessible in the current context (i.e. layout). The result will be the Boolean you're looking for (technically it will be a number). To access this value you need to query it with the Get( ScriptResult ) function.

The way you describe it it doesn't really sound FileMaker, so if this is not the answer you expected, please provide some context for what you're trying to accomplish.
