Introduction to LotusScript®
This chapter introduces LotusScript® and describes, in general terms, how to use the script editor to write and modify scripts, how to compile scripts, and how to use the debugger to locate problems in the logic of your applications.
Working with scripts
A script is composed of statements in the LotusScript® language. LotusScript code can be organized into applications, modules, sections, functions, and statements.

Working with scripts

A script is composed of statements in the LotusScript® language. LotusScript® code can be organized into applications, modules, sections, functions, and statements.

IBM® software provides objects that you use as building blocks to create an application. Each object has an associated set of events; each event indicates that an action in an application has occurred. You write scripts to define responses to these events.

Demonstrates an event being triggered by a button

Besides direct user manipulation, IBM® software applications or the system can also initiate events. For example, editing a document in a database is an event that is internal to a database application.
