  Get functions     67

This script uses the function Get(CurrentDate) to check each record in the found set 

to see if an account is past due. If an account is past due, the script shows a message 
and prompts the user to click a button labeled Ignore, Send letter, or Send mail (set up 
through the Show Custom Dialog script step). The script captures the user's response 
using Get(LastMessageChoice). Then, based on the user's response, the script 

performs an action: it cancels the rest of the script, prints a "payment is late" letter, or 
sends email to the associated account.
