This can be done with no scripting of any kind.
Set up a relation between the two tables based on the ID field.
Place a copy of the related ID field on a layout (preferably formatted to
allow entry only in Find mode)
Enter find mode.
Enter * in the related ID field.
Perform your find.
Done.
Alternatively, it can be done with a one line Filemaker script.
If called from File A:
Perform Find [ TableB::Idfield; "*"]
