Zero to Awesome - Debugging
Programming, or using logic for that matter (for some people - not you), can be an exercise in creating more problems than solving them - at least until you debug those problems. And there it is, debugging, that essential skill which increases your productivity while programming.
Ok, so maybe you don't think you're programming when you're writing a script. I beg to disagree. You're using conditional logic and you've got access to a debugger - a programmers tool.
So how do you go about using the debugger most efficiently. Well, you need to learn what Step In, Step Over and Step Out mean in the world of debugging. Fortunately, this can be learned in the short 27 minutes this video takes to watch!

Great tip about the debug Custom Function!
That will be very useful. Thanks.
FYI, you can still set keyboard shortcuts for Filemaker on the Mac even if it is not listed by default. Just scroll all the way down in the Application list and select Other. Then choose your Filemaker application and enter your shortcuts. If you use multiple versions, for example both Pro and Advanced, one set of shortcuts have to be entered for each one.
Cheers,
Andreas
Very cool! Thanks for the tip
I had not known about this. Thanks for the tip. Also to Dave Walsh who sent me an email about it!
