PowerScript Basics

In previous sessions, you have learnt about painting various objects that make a PowerBuilder application. That is only part of the application development process. You also need to write code using PowerBuilder's fourth generation language, PowerScript.

PowerScript is a powerful object oriented language. When using it you may notice that in many cases only one line code is all that is needed to accomplish the much needed functionality. We'll be looking at the simplicity of the coding in PowerScript, the flexibility of the scripting environment and where the code should be added to get the desired effect.

After this session You Will Be Able To:

• Understand PowerScript features.
• Code examples to understand PowerScript basics.
• Compile and save scripts.

Estimated Session Time:

120+ minutes
