Editor - Define Command
 Back
to Feature Tour
The Define command allows you to create new commands that
may be used in the script. Defined commands are resolved at Compile time.
Optional Parameters allow you to use meaningful names within the define
itself. Otherwise, up to 10 parameters may be indicated within the body of
the defined command using the percent “%“ escape character followed by a
number from 0 to 9. This is similar to the manner in which BAT file
parameters operate.
All Define commands must be terminated with an End_Define command. You may
use any command within a define, including other defined commands. The only
restriction is that the Define command itself may not appear within a
defined command.
A defined command is used simply by including it within colons and providing
values for the parameters within the body of the define. Parameters are
separated by commas. When the script compiler encounters a command, it first
searches it’s list of predefined commands and processes a match accordingly.
If the command it not in the predefined list, it next searches the list of
defined commands. If the command is found, it processes the body of the
define as if it were inserted in the script at that point. The compiler
replaces any parameters with the values provided from the parameter list.
When the defined command is exhausted, the compiler continues processing the
script with the next command.
Example:
:Define: CheckFile (ServerName,FileName)
:If: Present {%’ServerName’}%’FileName’
:Log: File is present
:Else:
:Stop:
:End_if:
:End_Define:
