Make Sure You Use the Correct Case

Siebel eScript is case-sensitive. For example, the testvar variable is different from the TestVar variable. Each of these variables can exist in a script at the same time. The following example defines two different variables:

var testvar = 5;
var TestVar = "five";

The name of a method or function in Siebel eScript is case-sensitive. For example, the following code creates an error on the Siebel Server:

TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("an error has occurred");

The following example creates an error in a Siebel application:

TheApplication().raiseerrortext("an error has occurred");

A control statement is case-sensitive. For example, the following statement is valid:

while

The following statement is not valid:

While
