Formula Language Coding Guidelines

Formulas are expressions that have program-like attributes. For example, you can assign values to variables and use a limited control logic. The formula language interface to Lotus Domino is through calls to @functions. @Commands, a subset of the @functions, provide access to the user interface.

This section provides these topics:

• Formulas
• Writing messages and getting user input
• Handling errors
• Working with @functions
• Working with @commands
• Performing string operations
• Performing arithmetic operations
• Performing time-date operations
• Accessing the user environment
• Accessing the current database and view
• Accessing the current document in the formula language
• Accessing data outside the current document and database
• Accessing external databases through LS:DO using @functions

See "Formula Language @Functions A-Z" and "Formula Language @Commands A-Z" for a reference.
