This guide provides information on using HCL Domino Designer and programming language reference information.
Welcome to the LotusScript® Language section of Domino® Designer Help.
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.
The following features are new for developers in HCL Domino® Designer 14.5.
HCL Nomad for web browsers v1.0.10 introduces the capability to design Notes databases. For more information, see HCL Nomad for web browsers User Documentation, Nomad web Designer.
Accessibility features assist users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology content successfully.
Welcome to the Application Design section of Domino® Designer Help.
Welcome to the Application Management section of Domino® Designer Help.
Domino® Query Language (DQL) is a facility running on a Domino server that provides a terse, shorthand syntax for finding documents. It supports a wide variety and complexity of search terms. It leverages existing design elements, avoiding the need to write detailed code to access them. DQL consolidates all methods in Domino for searching document contents.
Composite applications are a key element in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and contextual collaboration strategy. The ability to create and edit composite applications lets you easily integrate different types of components and technologies.
Domino® Designer includes two types of design elements to assist you in managing data contained in DB2® enabled Notes® databases:
This section contains general guidelines and examples that show where to use Java, LotusScript, and the formula language.
This section documents the formula language.
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.
This chapter describes the rules for writing the basic elements of a script in the LotusScript® language.
This chapter provides information about LotusScript® constants and variables and the data types of the values that they can represent.
This chapter describes the set of LotusScript® operators, how they may be combined with operands to form expressions, and how those expressions are evaluated.
This chapter describes file handling in the LotusScript® language.
This chapter describes error processing in the LotusScript® language.
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.
The branching statement GoTo transfers control unconditionally.
The branching statement If...GoTo...Else is a convenient way to abbreviate a statement that would otherwise be written If...Then GoTo label Else. It can be used when the only action you want to take in the Then clause of an If...Then...Else statement is to transfer unconditionally. The description of If...Then...Else applies to this statement, with the GoTo clause substituted for the Then clause. The statement must be written on one line.
The branching statement On...GoTo transfers control conditionally.
The branching statements GoSub and On...GoSub are nonstandard programming techniques with limited usefulness. They enable running a group of statements by transferring control from any number of other locations within the same procedure. Functionally the statements behave as a subroutine, but they can't take arguments, don't establish a separate scope, and aren't available from other procedures or scripts. It is more common and useful to write the statements as an ordinary sub.
This chapter describes how to use multiple threads and synchronization to manage HTTP agents with Domino®.
This chapter discusses the role that LotusScript® plays with HCL products, your operating environment, other programs, and interactive user applications.
This chapter describes the use of statements, built-in functions, subs, data types, and directives in the LotusScript® language.
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.
The LotusScript® language and functionality on the UNIX™ platform, the Macintosh platform, and the IBM i® platform differ in various ways from the language and functionality described in the rest of this language reference. This appendix describes the differences.
This appendix provides an overview of REXX integration in the LotusScript® language.
This appendix lists the LotusScript® aliases and their equivalent text.
This chapter describes the compile-time error messages in the LotusScript® language.
This chapter describes the run-time error messages in the LotusScript® language.
This section documents the Java/CORBA classes.
Connectors provide native access to a wide variety of DBMS products, ODBC, the platform File system, Enterprise Resource Planning systems, and Transaction Processing systems.
As part of providing additional Java™ reference documentation, Domino® Designer ships with a help plugin that contains Javadoc™ for additional Domino Designer related APIs.
