An Applescript bulk loader I'm working learns all the field names and their
creation order in the database I'm loading, so that I can construct a valid
'Create Record' command.  Briefly,

The following command gets the names of all the fields in the DB (Filemaker
automatically defines layout 0 as "every field")

(1) set dbFieldNames to (get name of every field in layout 0 of database
theDB)

Iterating thru this list, I get the field i.d.  of each field.  Somewhere
it's documented that field ids are floats in ascending sequence by creation,
so I can use this to sort the fields into creation sequence.  The command to
get a field id is this:

(2) set dbID to (get ID of field dbFieldName in database theDB)

Using this sorted list I can construct a list of values (theValueList) that
can be passed to FMP as follows:

(3) create new record at end of database theDB with data theValueList

This has worked fine until I recently added a couple of global fields to the
DB.  Now, in step (1) dbFieldNames includes the names of those global
fields.  But if I construct an ordered list of values for every field in
dbFieldNames, and pass it in step (3) as theValueList, I get an "invalid
data" error from FMP.  There are now 15 "normal" fields and 2 global fields,
so I am passing a list of 17 values in the create-new-record, but FMP
(understandably) only wants 15.

Offhand I can't figure out how, in steps 1 or 2, to identify and ignore
global fields.  

Does anyone know how to ask FMP whether or not a field is global?
