Get(ActiveFieldContents) function
Format

Get(ActiveFieldContents)
Parameter
None
Data type returned
text, number, date, time, timestamp, container
Description
Returns the contents of the field containing the cursor. When the cursor is in a repeating field, returns the contents of the active repetition. The result type of the active field depends upon the data type of the active field and the result type assigned to the Get(ActiveFieldContents) calculation function.
Note   See Solving calculations on a host machine for information about running scripts in client/server and peer-to-peer environments.
Example
Returns SomeShop when the cursor is in the Name field, and that field contains the data "SomeShop."
This type of calculation is most useful if used in a script when you want to examine data in different fields as the script proceeds.
