If checked, the next serial value is value of last record in the found set serial number, plus the new increment value set in the command you just run.

Both the next serial number, AND the increment value will be updated within the fields auto-entry option, providing the update option is checked.If the field you are updating has the auto-enter serial number option enabled, you are given the ability to update the next serial number for that. Note that it does not matter what record of the found set you are on initially, numbers will always begin from the first record. The first record in the found set is assigned the initial value.

When using the command, it is required your cursor be in the field you wish to update.The command works on a found set of records, if you have no found set, the command is unavailable.The # of records that will be updated is displayed in the first sentence.There is another way to get the word 'Hello' into the field using a calculation, but this is the fastest way when using the menu command.

You can see the dialog will show you what records in the found set will be set to. The easiest way, is to put 'Hello' into the field on your current record, then run the command. Imagine you are on a layout and wish to set 'Hello' into records in your found set. This is quite useful, most particularly when you are running the replace manually using the command. This refers to whatever the value is in the field you are replacing on the current record you are on. There are three possible options you can use: The dialog appears slightly different when running it via the command from the Records menu.

The above version of the dialog, is the one that you will see when using the script step. The Replace Field Contents command/script step is a very powerful tool for updating field values across records in your found set.
