Result

The result value which you can assign to a container field.

Description

Returns the result of the transaction as PNG image.
Make sure the data is a PNG. The plugin does not verify whether result is a PNG file. But if it is one, it sets size properties and creates a preview JPEG so FileMaker can preview it.
Version 5.2 and later can use the filename from URL if you don't provide one yourself.
