Basic Script Editor: Introduction

The Utilities | Scripting | Basic Script Editor menu option opens the Basic Script Editor. The Basic Script Editor can be used to create and edit basic scripts that can be used in Basic Script objects during execution or from the Basic Script's Standard toolbar. The Basic Script Editor consists of the following menus:

  1. File menu

  2. Edit menu

  3. View menu

  4. Run menu

  5. Help menu

You do not have to use the Basic Script Editor to create your scripts. Many users prefer to use the Visual Basic interface that comes with Microsoft Office applications such as Visual Basic for Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word or even professional-grade full-featured Integrated Development Environments, such as Visual Studio. These applications often contain advanced debugging tools and visual aids to help you create your scripts. See "Using the Object Browser in Other Editors" in the "PC-DMIS 2023.1 Object Library" documentation.
