Example

The following Siebel eScript example finds the next-to-last record in a query and does some manipulation with it:

{

ActivateField("Name")

ClearToQuery();

SetSearchSpec("Name", "A*");

ExecuteQuery(ForwardBackward);

isRecord = FirstRecord();

while (isRecord)

{

// do some record manipulation

isRecord = NextRecord();

} // end while loop

nextToLastRecord = PreviousRecord();

if (nextToLastRecord) // verify that there is a penultimate record
