There isn't any script recording in FileMaker Pro, althouh many script 
commands do have the ability to store the "current" set-up that was 
performed manually before adding the command to a script or replace 
script-stored ones with the current manually performed version, for 
example Find Requests.

Script recording in AppleScript and Automator have always been fairly 
useless since, depending on the app you're creating the script for, 
very little of what you do manually can be scripted anyway.
