Overview

The Commands list box of the Add Script Field and Update Script Field dialogs, shown in the following image, contains the commands, operators, and declarations that enable you to create script code. For single expression scripts, only the Arithmetic operators and String operators are displayed.

The commands provided by the script facility are a subset of the JADE language. If you are proficient in writing JADE code, you can utilize more commands than those that are available in the script facility. However, this appendix describes only those commands that are provided through the Commands list box.

If you intend to utilize more of the JADE language features than those that are available in the script facility and you have access to the JADE product information library, Chapter 1 of the JADE Developer’s Reference provides details to assist you.

You can open each folder in the Commands list box to display the list of the operators, commands, or declarations within. The commands are listed in the following table.

Commands	Displayed for…	Enables you to…
Arithmetic Operators	All script types	Apply arithmetic in your scripts
String Operators	All script types	Manipulate character strings
Commands	Full scripts only	Use some language commands
Comparison Operators	Full scripts only	Compare fields
Variable Declarations	Full scripts only	Declare the types of your variables
