Basic product usage information 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.
Welcome to the Application Design section of Domino® Designer Help.
The templates described in the following table are available with Domino® Designer and are specifically intended for use by application developers.
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.
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.
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.
Welcome to the Application Management section of Domino® Designer Help.
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 IBM® 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 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.
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.
