Bookshelf v7.8: The Siebel Script Editor

The Siebel Script Editor

The Siebel Script Editor is a simple window-based editor designed to create and maintain Siebel VB, Siebel eScript, and Browser Script programs.

When creating Siebel custom programs, note the following:

Check out or lock the project containing the object definitions being modified. If the project is not locked, you are unable to add any text in the Editor window.
Choose Debug > Check Syntax to verify the syntax of your Basic or eScript program. The Siebel Compiler reports any syntax errors and indicates the lines where they occur.
Choose File > Save when you have finished entering and editing the custom statements to save your work. Closing the Siebel Script Editor without saving your work discards the changes.
Before you run the application, you must compile the projects that you have modified and generate a new SRF file. For information on the Object Compiler, read Siebel Developer's Reference.
Run the application with the new application extensions by choosing Debug > Start or clicking the Start button in the Debug toolbar. The Siebel application executes with the new modifications incorporated.
You may inadvertently create programming errors that, when encountered, halts the execution of the extension routine. If you started Siebel applications in debug mode (/H option on the command start-up line), a message box opens indicating the nature of the error. You can then return to the Script Editor and choose Debug > Check Syntax. For further details, read Checking Syntax.
When a script error is encountered by an end user, or when the Siebel application is not running in Debug mode, the application displays an appropriate error message and returns control back to the point in the standard Siebel code just prior to the error.
