Description

-FMScript specifies a script to be processed after the current database action has been performed. Requires a single parameter which names a FileMaker Pro script. Synonym is -FMScriptPost.

This tag must be used in concert with a database action that results in records being found. The -FindAll action can be used if no specific records are required when the script is run.

Syntax

[Inline: -FindAll,
  -Database='Database_Name',
  -Table='Table_Name',
  -FMScript='Script_Name', ...]

Parameters

Required Parameters
Script_Name The FileMaker Pro Script which is to be called.

Examples

To call a FileMaker Pro script:

Use the -FMScript command tag. The script will be called before any associated Lasso database action is performed. In the following example, the script named Periodic_Cleanup is called before a -FindAll action.

  -Database='Contacts.fp5',
  -Table='People',
  -FMScript='Periodic_Cleanup']
