ClaScript

Our product ClaScript is an add on for Clarion programers and includes a script language and a window formatter. With this tool programs can be generated offering the utmost flexibility, since the end user is able to intervene in the program flow at normally inaccessible places and thus individual requirements can be met.

ClaScript is a Clarion Add On for ABC template set. You can use it with C5, C5.5, C6 and C6.2 . We ship ClaScript as template and app-file (no black box, no magic, easy to read code).

Script Language
script example:


open(PERSON)
GLO:VAR1 := records(PERSON)
progress(GLO:VAR1)                    ! open progress window
set(PERSON,PERSON:KeySysPERSON)
loop
  next(PERSON)
  if error > 0 then break endif
  progress(1)                         ! update progress bar
  if PERSON:PriceFlag = 0 then
    PERSON:PriceFlag := 2
    update(PERSON)
  endif
endloop
close(PERSON)
