Simple Variables

Set myVariable to "myValue"

Set myNumber to 3.14

Display myVariable: #myVariable#

Display myNumber: #myNumber#


Complex Variables

Set myArray1 to an array of 1 dimension using literal or bracket notation

Set myArray2 to an array of 1 dimension using function notation

Contents of myArray1

Contents of myArray2

Operators

Arithmetic

1 + 1 = #1 + 1#

10 - 7 = #10 - 7#

15 * 10 = #15 * 10#

100 / 5 = #100 / 5#

120 % 5 = #120 % 5#

120 mod 5 = #120 mod 5#


Comparison

Standard Notation

Is 1 eq 1? #1 eq 1#

Is 15 neq 1? #15 neq 1#

Is 10 gt 8? #10 gt 8#

Is 1 lt 2? #1 lt 2#

Is 10 gte 5? #10 gte 5#

Is 1 lte 5? #1 lte 5#

Alternative Notation

Is 1 == 1? #1 eq 1#

Is 15 != 1? #15 neq 1#

Is 10 > 8? #10 gt 8#

Is 1 < 2? #1 lt 2#

Is 10 >= 5? #10 gte 5#

Is 1 <= 5? #1 lte 5#


Control Structures

Condition to test for: "#myCondition#"

#myCondition#. We're testing. #myCondition#. Proceed Carefully!!! myCondition is unknown

Loops

For Loop

Index equals #i#

For Each Loop (Complex Variables)

Set myArray3 to [5, 15, 99, 45, 100]

Index equals #i#

Set myArray4 to ["Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie", "Delta", "Echo"]

Index equals #s#

Switch Statement

Set myArray5 to [5, 15, 99, 45, 100]

#i# is a multiple of 5.

#i# is ninety-nine.

#i# is not 5, 15, 45, or 99.


Converting types

Value As Boolean As number As date-time As string
"Yes" TRUE 1 Error "Yes"
"No" FALSE 0 Error "No"
TRUE TRUE 1 Error "Yes"
FALSE FALSE 0 Error "No"
Number True if Number is not 0; False otherwise. Number See "Date-time values" earlier in this chapter. String representation of the number (for example, "8").
String If "Yes", True
If "No", False
If it can be converted to 0, False
If it can be converted to any other number, True
If it represents a number (for example, "1,000" or "12.36E-12"), it is converted to the corresponding number. If it represents a date-time (see next column), it is converted to the numeric value of the corresponding date-time object.
If it is an ODBC date, time, or timestamp (for example "{ts '2001-06-14 11:30:13'}", or if it is expressed in a standard U.S. date or time format, including the use of full or abbreviated month names, it is converted to the corresponding date-time value.
Days of the week or unusual punctuation result in an error.
Dashes, forward-slashes, and spaces are generally allowed.
String
Date Error The numeric value of the date-time object. Date An ODBC timestamp.
