Script Editor

Scripting takes place in the script pane of the user interface.  Scripting is a powerful, yet simple tool to achieve unlimited flexibility in data extraction, translation, mapping, and conversion.

To search the scrip being edited press CTRL+F and a search dialog will appear. To search and replace, press CTRL+H.

When you are editing a script the Ln (line) and Col (column) position of the cursor appear in the lower right corner of the scripting pane.

Date Properties/Variables appear in the left half of the scripting pane.  If you wish to hide/show this pane, click on the vertical blue pencil icon.

'----------------- OnRecord -----------------

Function OnRecord

DictOut.Price10.value = Empty

End Function

Now, take an input field and use it as a resource:

 

Another simple way to begin the implementation of context methods is through script editor's context menu or "Script Resources" dialog :
