Shane said the same thing.

I need to really get into applescripting each element of what the "Import
Records" FMP command does in this case, item by item, instead of using the
shortcut of 'do script (FileMaker script "ImportS")', as Shane said. When I
get that figured out, I'm sure it will work in the background.
Time to change the subject of this thread: something I will now need to
figure out to help import a SimpleText file in TE+ here : how does TE+'s
offset" work?
When I say:
get offset of "CAT4" in "1 CAT4"
or
get offset of "c" in "abc"
it says "Can't get offset of "c" in "abc". Access not allowed."
Does anyone know what the correct syntax is? It claims to be a subset of the
Text Suite, rather the Standard Additions "offset" we all know. I'd rather
not be going in and out of a TE tell block to do this, if I can work out how
TE's 'offset' works.
