ScriptPro Editor This topic is for use by scriptwriters who are using ScriptPro Editor to create custom scripts for their agencies. Agents can go to Using ScriptPro Scripts for more information about using custom or standard scripts within Travelport Smartpoint.

 

Script Design Limits

Script size

A single script may have unlimited line lengths and an unlimited number of lines.  Because of the complexity of such large scripts, it is highly recommended that a single script call or chain to other scripts to complete specific logical functions.  This helps when script maintenance is required.

Number of variables

The number of variables contained within a script is unlimited. However, the maximum length of any text variable information is 4080 characters. 

Number of controls

Dialog boxes may contain an unlimited number of controls, however a maximum of 50 is recommended.  See Control Characteristics.

List files 

List files, which are created in the ScriptPro Editor, contain the data for listbox, combobox, validbox, singlelist, and multi-list control fields.  The items appear in the same order as they are input in the ScriptPro Editor, one item per line, left aligned. List files are saved with the file extension .LST in the develop folder, but are automatically copied to the prod file when compiled.

Script file names

Script file names are not case sensitive and are not restricted in length.

Note:  All Travelport Standard Scripts (scripts provided by Travelport) begin with Z4 and ScriptPro Library Scripts begin with W4 to alphabetically group them at the bottom of the list.  To keep Travelport Library and Standard Scripts separate, scriptwriters should not give scripts names beginning with W4 or Z4.
