LOTUSSCRIPT LANGUAGE
What is LotusScript?
LotusScript is an embedded, BASIC scripting language with a powerful set of language extensions that enable object-oriented application development within and across Lotus software applications. LotusScript allows you to place more complex scripts in a greater variety of locations and events than traditional macros. LotusScript and its development toolset provide a common programming environment across Lotus applications on all platforms supported by Lotus software (such as Windows, AIX, Linux). It is available in:
IBM Lotus Notes Release 4 and later
IBM Lotus Approach® 96 Edition and later
IBM Lotus Freelance Graphics® 96 Edition and later
IBM Lotus Word Pro 96 Edition and later
IBM Lotus 1-2-3 97 Edition and later
IBM Lotus Enterprise Solution Builder
LotusScript offers a wide variety of features. Its interface to Lotus software is through predefined object classes. The products oversee the compilation and loading of user scripts and automatically include class definitions to allow more efficient coding. LotusScript extends the development capabilities of Lotus software by providing:
The ability to place scripts in a variety of objects and events in many Lotus software applications. LotusScript has a set of extensions beyond Visual Basic, that provide additional power and utility when writing applications using Lotus software.
A debugger and syntax-directed editor.
Access to a broad range of product functions through the classes defined for each product.
Access to external class libraries defined using the the LSX Toolkit.
The environment in which you write, debug, and run scripts depends on your Lotus software application. To learn about your product’s programming environment, see your product documentation.
