LotusScript® Classes Coding Guidelines
The following topics cover some general guidelines for writing LotusScript® code using Domino® objects:
Accessing supporting Domino® objects
Converting between Domino® Designer and LotusScript® time
The formats of a Domino® Designer date-time item and a LotusScript® date variant differ. For example, you cannot put a LotusScript date variant in a Domino Designer date-time item or manipulate a Domino Designer time-date item with LotusScript date functions.
Examples: Converting between Domino Designer and LotusScript time
This example writes the DateComposed item from a Domino Designer document to the LocalTime property of a NotesDateTime object, then accesses the LSLocalTime property of that object with the Weekday LotusScript function.
