Get functionsUse Get functions in scripts for error checking and prevention, or to capture information about the status of a database file or elements in it, or an action being performed.Many Get functions return information that changes on a regular basis. For example, when the Get(CurrentTime) function is placed in a stored calculation field, the time will only update when a new record is created. If the calculation has other fields in it, but the calculation result still returns the current time, then the stored calculation result will only update when those other fields have been modified in the current record. If either of these calculations are unstored, the time will update as needed. For performance reasons, making a calculation field unstored is not always the best idea. Get functions are best used in a script where the status information from a Get function is up-to-date at the moment that the calculation is run.To access the list of Get functions, in the Specify Calculation dialog box, choose View all functions by type or View Get functions. When you choose View all functions by name, you see only Get(flag).Note For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the FileMaker Knowledge Base available at http://help.filemaker.com.
