Script steps not supported in FileMaker Go

FileMaker Go does not support some script steps. To identify the script steps that are not supported, use the FileMaker Pro Script Workspace. See FileMaker Pro Help.

FileMaker Go does not display an alert for unsupported script steps. Unsupported script steps are skipped and return error code 3 ("Command is unavailable"). Use Get(LastError) to check for this error code.

Important  Running unsupported script steps may lead to unintended behavior.
