IBM Domino Designer Basic User Guide and Reference
Basic product usage information and programming language reference information.
Lotus® Connectors
Lotus® Connectors provide native access to a wide variety of DBMS products, ODBC, the platform File system, Enterprise Resource Planning systems, and Transaction Processing systems.
LSX for Lotus® Connectors
LotusScrip Extensions for Lotus® Connectors (LC LSX) enhances the power of Notes® by extending its scripting to data outside of Notes through the use of Lotus Connectors. The programming model is independent of the individual connector. This eliminates the need to learn each individual system, while at the same time allowing experienced users to access the individual features of a specific system.

- Developing applications using MAPI
  Domino® Designer Release 6 and later supports the messaging application program interface (MAPI), which allows mail integration between Domino and a MAPI-compliant messaging application, such as Microsoft™ Outlook, Microsoft Office applications, or user-written C++ programs.
- Features to avoid using in Web applications
  Developers creating applications specifically for the Web, or for the dual purpose of serving Notes® and Web clients, should review the following tables for features that are not supported on the Web.
- URL commands for Web applications
  You have a variety of options for programming a Web site. You can directly manipulate objects such as documents or views in an application using Domino® URL commands. Adding Domino URL commands as HTML in forms gives users shortcuts for navigating databases and performing other tasks quickly.

  - LSX for Lotus® Connectors
    LotusScrip Extensions for Lotus® Connectors (LC LSX) enhances the power of Notes® by extending its scripting to data outside of Notes through the use of Lotus Connectors. The programming model is independent of the individual connector. This eliminates the need to learn each individual system, while at the same time allowing experienced users to access the individual features of a specific system.
    - Chapter 1 Introduction
      This chapter provides an introduction to the LotusScript® Extension for Lotus® Connectors (LC LSX) and explains the organization of this manual.
    - Chapter 2 LCConnection Class
      This chapter provides information about the LCConnection class methods and properties.
    - Chapter 3 LCCurrency Class
      This chapter provides information about the LCCurrency class methods and properties.
      - LCCurrency class overview
        The LCCurrency class represents a currency value and has the same format and restrictions as the LotusScript® currency data type. The value is an 8-byte integer with a fixed scale of 4 decimal places, providing 19 digits of precision. Currency is commonly used when higher precision is required, such as for monetary amounts. A currency is much more precise than an integer, more precise than a float, and more efficient (but less precise) than a numeric. Note that during any currency overflow, the maximum or minimum valid currency value is assigned in addition to the error generated.
      - Syntax for LEI Scripted Activities - 6
        When writing LotusScript® Extensions (LC LSX) scripts for LEI Scripted Activities, you must specify Dim LCSession as a named session (this becomes the default log document name). LCConnections must also be dimensioned as existing, named IBM® Lotus Enterprise Integrator® (LEI) connection documents.
      - Type CURRENCY Format and Values
        The following table shows CURRENCY format and values.
      - LCCurrency Class Methods Summary
        The following are the LCCurrency class methods:
      - LCCurrency Properties
        LCCurrency has two properties: Text and Value.
      - New Method for LCCurrency
        This is the constructor for LCCurrency. It initializes a currency object.
      - Add Method for LCCurrency
        This method adds two LCCurrency values, producing the sum. The sum is returned to the object that is making the call.
      - Compare Method for LCCurrency
        This method compares two currency values and returns the relationship.
      - Copy Method for LCCurrency
        This method makes a copy of an LCCurrency object.
      - Subtract Method for LCCurrency
        This method subtracts one LCCurrency value from another, producing the result. The result is stored in the object that is making the call.
      - Example: LCCurrency with LCFieldlist and LCField
        This example illustrates the use of LCCurrency in conjunction with the LCFieldlist and LCField options.
