General Description

The application control script language interpreter is a set of commands that can be enhanced and reused by other applications to provide a simple scripting language. Therefore the here described language elements do not contain the language extensions provided by the different applications. This documentation contains only the common available variables, structures and commands.

Applications enhancing the application control script with further commands can also provide integration possibility to import the commands in the application control script namespace. This leads to the result that all enhancing modules can be used together in one application control script. If you use internal modules they can be referenced with the IMPORTMODULE command.

When using other modules providing commands with the same name you can access them by writing explicitly <ModuleName>. <Command> <ParameterList>.

In general the variables, structures and commands are case insensitive. This means that the following calls are all the same:

CALL MySubroutine
call MYSUBROUTINE
call mysubroutine
CALL MYSUBROUTINE

A line is treated as comment line if the first character of the line is a "'", "; ", "/" or "#" character. You cannot specify comments in the same line where you put other commands.

Parameters to commands and subroutines are always passed separated by commas (",") and can be enclosed with " characters which is usually not necessary if you do not have a "," somewhere in your parameter. If you have " characters in your parameters than you have to escape them by writing them in double (""). Samples:

MSGBOX "This, my dear, is a test", "Title"
MySubroutine "Param1", "MyFile= ""c:\Test.txt""", "%SCR.MyVars%"

Names in general may not contain extra characters - only letters numbers and the characters "_" and "." are allowed.
