About Local and Global Variables |
New topic. Siebel eScript includes local and global variables. You declare these variables differently. Access to these variables also varies. |
Using a Local Variable Is Preferable to Using a Global Variable |
New topic. It is recommended that you use a local variable where possible instead of a global variable. |
Declaring a Variable In a Statement Block |
New topic. If you declare a variable in a statement block in a method, then you can reference that variable anywhere in the method. |
Running Browser Script When Siebel CRM Starts a Siebel Application |
New topic. You can configure Siebel CRM to run Browser Script when it starts a Siebel application. |
For In Statement |
Modified topic. The DONT_ENUM attribute is a predefined attribute that you cannot modify. |
Using the Throw Statement with Nested Try Catch Blocks |
New topic. To handle an exception, you can use the Throw statement with nested Try catch blocks. |
Array Methods |
Modified topic. The following methods were added: Concatenate Array, Get Subarray, Shift Array Left, and Shift Array Right. |
Example |
New topic. To avoid receiving an unhandled exception error, you can use the RaiseErrorText method or the RaiseError method instead of the Throw statement. |
Setting the Day to a Value That Exceeds 31 |
New topic. You can write code that adds any number of days to a date. Siebel eScript automatically converts the number of days to the correct month and year. |
Using the Dispatch Identifier to Call a COM Method |
New topic. To use the DISPID (Dispatch Identifier) of a COM method to call that COM method, you make an IDispatch::Invoke call. |
Using a Multivalue List to Avoid Unexpected Rounding |
New topic. If you must use a value that exceeds 253, then it is recommended that you use a calculated field that uses the sum of a multivalue list instead of using Siebel eScript. |
Preprocessing Error Messages |
Modified topic. You can organize constants and other definitions in include files, and then use #include directives to add these definitions to any source file. |
