I've a script that performs a record search (I copy/paste the value to
search), but if there are no records matching the request, I wont that
script halts to display that there are no records... I simply want it
continue. How can I do?

Say gt1 is a global.
Your script will then look like :

Enter Browse mode
Set field(gt1, your search criterium)
Set error capture (on)
Enter Find mode
Set field(your field, gt1)
Perform Find
If(Status ( CurrentError ) = 401
Set error capture (off)
Show message("There are no records found")
Find all
Exit (or Halt) Script
End If
Set error capture (off)
....do stuff if there are records found...

Unless you're testing for a Find error or the user is cancelling the
script, the script will continue after the error message has been
dismissed by the user.

To get rid of the error message you can use the Set Error Capture
command to intercept error messages from the Perform Find command.
eg.
Set Error Capture [On]
Perform Find []
{rest of script}

This will perform the rest of the script no matter what happens and
won't display ANY error messages for the Perform Find command.

Thanks, Herry's tip was enough, but thank to you I've learned a new
thing: I didn't know I can set fields in find mode. That can be useful
for another time.

disappare error massages.
Now all it's clear.
