About Script Files
Script files contain the logic for mapping the transaction data that is exchanged
between devices and a host. Using script files, the DCS 300 maps transaction fields into
host screens. Intermec has designed the Script Builder Tool as a local interface tool that
lets you easily create, edit, and check script files.
Intermec recommends that you use the Script Builder Tool to create your scripts
and define user blocks to customize it. If you manually create a script, you cannot
open and edit this script using the Script Builder Tool.
For help manually creating a
script, see the DCS 300 Technical Reference Manual .
Preparing to Use the Script Builder Tool
Before you start using the Script Builder Tool, you should identify the tasks that you
want the script to perform. You must know
•
the transactions that the script will process. You should also design one terminal
screen for each transaction.
•
the starting point (host screen) for all transactions.
If the script is going to handle only one transaction, the main host screen is the
screen that contains the host screen field that will receive the first transaction field
mapping.
If the script is going to handle multiple transactions, the main host screen is the
screen that contains the different options, such as a menu, where you can choose
different options that send different transactions.
•
the host screens and host screen fields that will receive transaction data, such as
data entry screens.
•
the host screens and host screen fields that will output data, such as inquiry result
screens.
