LOTUSSCRIPT LANGUAGE

Statement construction rules

The statements of a script are composed of lines of text. Each text element is a LotusScript keyword, operator, identifier, literal, or special character.
The script can include blank lines without affecting the meaning.
The text on a line can begin at the left margin or be indented without affecting the meaning.
Within a statement, elements are separated with white space, either spaces or tabs. Extra white space can be used between elements to make a statement more readable without affecting the meaning. Avoid using white space around a special character appended to a name.
A statement, except for a block statement, must appear on a single line unless it includes the line-continuation character underscore ( _ ), preceded by white space.
The line-continuation character ( _ ) must appear at the end of a line to be continued, preceded by at least one space or tab. Only white space or inline comments (those preceded with an apostrophe) can follow the underscore on the line.
A new line marks the end of a statement. For block statements, the beginning of the next line starts a new statement.
Multiple statements on a line must be separated by a colon (:).

Example

' One statement on one line Print "One line"

' One statement on two lines; extra white space Print "One" & _ ' Comment allowed here "Two"

' Two statements on one line Print "One" : Print "Two"
