Can a scheduled script set a script parameter value?

edited Dec 2, 2019 5:59PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Hi,
I have a scheduled script that does a lot of updates, so I stop the loop when it gets to a certain number of updates & then call the scheduled script again.  The script is doing something that NS currently doesn't have search capabilities for, so I'm not running a search in the code.  Instead I am looping through all records from 1 to about 6000 so that I can update the ones that need to be updates. 

I need a way for each run of the script to know which number to start on.  My idea was to create a script parameter & have the script set it just before calling itself again.  That way the next run of the script can pull the parameter & start at that number instead of at 1.  Unfortunately nlapiGetContext().setSetting() doesn't take 'SCRIPT' as a parameter, only 'SESSION'.  The getSetting method takes both (and others).  I tried setting & getting 'SESSION', but the second script never sees a value in that.

Howdy, Stranger!
