Scripting

Knowledge Assessment - There's been some interest expressed in leaning about Advanced Scripting, even if just an understanding of what it can do. Some of us are putting together a one hour webinar for the members of this group. Tentative date is somewhere in the June 8 to to the 10th time frame. Please express what ""you're looking for.

I am interested in: 1. What can this do -- and what can't it 2. What's required to do an ""easy"" script 3. Who does this in the group who would subcontract My initial example that seemed basic enough (though we could do any): Customer wants to be able to go into Purchase Order Header and blank out the required by date field. They'd then like all the lines with required dates to be blanked out as well. This seems like the type of script that if we were to get our hands around -- that we could then modify a few dozen ways for other actions in MAS. Ultimately we should create a script library with some easy ones for sharing with active 90Minds member.

Myron, if you need any help with this, let me know.

+1 on the library. In 4.40 do you have to put in any of the login credentials, etc.? Also do you need to do the cleanup at the end of the script or does it happen automatically? Also, what are the differences between a button script and as UDS? I'm more asking syntactically instead of how they work differently. A good topic would be the differences between the different script scenarios: Button, UDS, Outside MAS and the requirements, ie where credentials are required and not, etc.

@MyronStevenson you and @AlnoorCassim should probably get together to discuss what you're covering. He's lined up to do a session some time after yours (We'll work out the dates after your session).

Another good topic would what and where a script would be appropriate and where a mod might make more sense.

Let's make sure one person makes notes on this sessions and we'll keep those notes along with any samples. I think it would make a great learning tool.

I wonder who you have in mind.

What is UDS? USer Defined Script?

Yeah. We probably need to keep it basic on this first session though and just stick with BOI scripting basics.

Scripting for Dummies. I have no programming background (except for the semester of FORTRAN and PASCAL many moons ago. Can you say punch card?) so the more basic it is, the better I will be.

Would it make sense for me to try to sit in?

Dawn, if you can that would be welcomed. You have great insights to share. Myron Stevenson Clearis Consulting, Inc. Voice: 218.525.6720 Mobile: 218.391.5888 Fax: 866.550.9880
