Commands and functions refference of VAST script

Hi Seth, thank you for your attention.

Yes that's what I mean. I gave example such when I want to convert text variable to numeric variable, I wrote the code just like this:

a3 := (self subpartNamed: 'txtNoVoc') object asNumber

where "txtNoVoc" is a text-part with character type.

My question is where I can find the manual refference about the command/function "asNumber", how to code it (syntax of commands/functions), as well as: asString, ifTrue:[] / ifFalse:[], isNil, nil, AbtDatabaseConnectionSpec, conSpec connectUsingAlias:, etc.

Hi Juli,

I think I need some clarification on your meaning.

When you say "script" and "commands and functions" used by it, are you asking how to write VA Smalltalk in the same manner as one would do with a scripting language (i.e. bash, perl...)?

Hi Juli,

for such basic questions I would suggest you consult the online help [1], the old IBM Visual Age Programmer's Reference [2] or a professional training [3] + [4] + [5].
This way you will become familiar with VASmalltalk's IDE with much less headache and will have success in your projcet a lot faster.
