Computer: Language: LotusScript: What is LotusScript? [Lotus Notes]
---
LotusScript is a scripting programming language from IBM/Lotus used to
automate tasks in e.g. Lotus Notes clients and Lotus Domino servers.
===
LotusScript was originally derived from Microsoft Visual Basic.
===
Programming and automating using LotusScript
LotusScript is thus very similar to Visual Basic (and VBScript).
The LotusScript source code can often be copied without modification
from Visual Basic or VBScript and vice versa.
A difference is in the product specific object classes that are
included in e.g. Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino.
In the case of Lotus Notes, there are classes to work with Notes
databases, documents (records) in those databases.
LotusScript also allows the definition of user defined types and
classes, although it is not possible to inherit from the
product-specific classes.
---
This facts gives you the possibility to possibly use (and transfer your
knowledge of and programming with) e.g. VBScript to create e.g. script
applications to access your Lotus Notes database via web pages or the
command line.
---
As e.g. WSH is also using VBScript as a scripting language, you could
use this Windows Scripting host to access and automate e.g. Lotus Notes
(database search) tasks.
---
You can further program the access to e.g. Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino
databases using the C, C++, and Notes API.
Also Java is integrated in e.g. Lotus Notes, as is JavaScript.
