What is LotusScript? Give Advantages of it.

LotusScript is an embedded, BASIC scripting language with a powerful set

of language extensions that enable object-oriented application development

within and across Lotus products. 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. It is available in:

Lotus Notes R4.0 and later

Approach 96 and later

Freelance Graphics 96 and later

Word Pro 96 and later

Lotus 1-2-3 97 and later

LSCube

LotusScript offers a wide variety of features. Its interface to Lotus products

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 products by providing:

The ability to place scripts in a variety of objects and events in many

Lotus products. LotusScript has a set of extensions beyond Visual

Basic, that provide additional power and utility when writing

applications using Lotus products.

A debugger and syntax-directed editor.

1

Access to a broad range of product functions through the classes

defined for each product.

Access to external class libraries defined using the LSX Toolkit.

The environment in which you write, debug, and run scripts depends on

your Lotus product. To learn about your product’s programming

environment, see your product documentation.

Advantages of LotusScript

LotusScript offers the following advantages:

Superset of BASIC

Since LotusScript is a superset of the BASIC language, it is easy to learn,

especially for Visual Basic users. You can write sophisticated scripts

using conditions, branches, subroutines, while loops, and other

conventions.

Cross-platform

LotusScript is a multi-platform BASIC-like scripting language. It works

with platforms such as Windows, Macintosh, OS/2, UNIX, OS/390, and

AS400. Scripts developed on Windows execute unchanged on any other

supported platform. This portability is important as desktop applications

become workgroup-enabled and documents are e-mailed to or

shared by users.

Object-oriented

Lotus products provide Object Classes that are available to LotusScript.

You can write scripts to access and manipulate these objects. The scripts

are event-driven, such as by an action, clicking the object or button,

opening a document, or opening a view.

Included in Lotus applications

LotusScript is supported by Lotus products, so these products can

access product classes using a product-supplied LotusScript extension.

You can use one language to write scripts in many different Lotus

products.

OLE support

Using LotusScript, Notes can be the perfect container for SmartSuite

documents and other OLE-enabled applications, such as Microsoft

Office. You can use external OLE 2.0 automation objects by scripting

them, such as 1-2-3 worksheet objects.

2 LotusScript Language Guide

Notes registers itself as an OLE automation server. External applications

can use these objects in scripts to create and reference them. LotusScript

can combine all the parts and provide the means for controlling and

manipulating objects.

Coexistence with @functions

Lotus continues to support @functions and LotusScript works well

with them.

Integrated Development Environment

The LotusScript Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides

an interface to create, edit, and debug scripts, and to browse variables

and properties of classes. The IDE allows you to write more complex

scripts in Notes.

LotusScript libraries

You can create function and class libraries in the language and reuse

them in other applications or Lotus products via the USE statement

language extension.

Extendable through LotusScript Extensions (LSXs)

LotusScript allows users to create their own classes and objects, called

LotusScript extensions (LSXs). LotusScript classes support single

inheritance, constructors/destructors and method overriding. This

functionality allows users to take advantage of object-oriented

programming, and to rapidly prototype their own custom business

objects. For more information about LSXs, visit the Developer Central

Website at http://www.lotus-developer.com
