Introduction to LotusScript
This chapter introduces LotusScript and describes, in general
terms, how to use the script editor to write and modify scripts, how
to compile scripts, and how to use the debugger to locate problems
in the logic of your applications.
Data Types, Constants, and Variables
This chapter provides information about LotusScript constants and variables and
the data types of the values that they can represent.
Expressions and Operators
This chapter describes the set of LotusScript operators, how they may be
combined with operands to form expressions, and how those expressions
are evaluated.
File Handling
This chapter describes file handling in the LotusScript language.
Error Processing
This chapter describes error processing in the LotusScript language.
User-Defined Data Types and Classes
This chapter describes two kinds of custom data structures
that you can define in LotusScript.
Each can hold data of different types in a single data structure.
Managing Flow in Scripts
The flow of execution of a script generally follows the
sequence of statements in the script. This chapter describes the behavior
of particular statements that alter the flow of execution.
Beyond Core LotusScript
This chapter discusses the role that LotusScript plays with IBM® products, your operating environment, other
programs, and interactive user applications.
LotusScript Language Reference
This chapter describes the use of statements, built-in
functions, subs, data types, and directives in the LotusScript language.
Language and Script Limits
This appendix describes LotusScript language limits of several
kinds: for example, the legal ranges in data representation, the limits
on numerical specifications within statements, and the maximum number
of different kinds of elements that can be defined in a script.
Platform Differences
The LotusScript language
and functionality on the OS/2 platform, the UNIX platform, the Macintosh platform, and the OS/400® platform differ in various
ways from the language and functionality described in the rest of
this language reference. This appendix describes the differences.
LotusScript/REXX Integration
This appendix provides an overview of REXX integration
in the LotusScript language.
LotusScript Aliases
This appendix lists the LotusScript aliases and their equivalent
