Chuck,
Unless I'm misunderstanding your intent, after the original search,
your script should be able to go into find mode, set up additional
search parameters then call the "Constrain Found Set" script step to
constrain the original find.
Hope that helps.
That's pretty much IT, BUT the script step "Constrain Found Set" will
not accept variables for the data to be searched for. In the project I
am currently working on I don't mind that these Find scripts won't
accept variables for the name of the Table::Field to be searched in.
But the fact that variables cannot be used in specifying the text or
numbers to be searched on.
So, lacking that capability inside of the scripting system, I'm forced
to use the approach of going into Find mode from the script and then
loading the fields with the search criteria. But, there is no way to
do a Constrain Found Set doing that, because when you go into Find
mode, it automatically clears the previously found set. I need to be
able to search inside of the found records from Find mode. And that,
as far as I can tell is not feasible.
Do you see the problem?
Do you know of a solution?
Regards,
Chuck
