VI.e.1 Text File Scripts ------------------------ It is *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* that you not use Text File Scripts. They seem to be a holdover from long ago, and all of its functionality is provided by the EXEC script processing facility. However, some users may feel a need to define non-parameterized Text File Scripts. To define a Text File Script, the path must specify a DCL command file with .SCRIPT as its extension as a text file resource, as in the following link tuple: Name=A dynamic "About" File Type=0 Port=+ Host=+ Path=0[_dynamic_documents]_demonstration.script No parameters to the script are allowed as part of this specification. The server will execute the following command in a subprocess: $ @[_dynamic_documents]_demonstration.script/output=xxx The script is expected to perform its tasks, any the entire log of the execution is will be saved in the temporary file "xxx." After completion of the script, the contents of the temporary file "xxx" are transmitted to the client, instead of the script itself. Care must be taken to insure that the script is fully debugged and foolproof, since subtle error conditions can result in the script failing and not producing a usable log file. If the server cannot sucessfully open the log file, the server will pass back the *script file* as the results of the client's request, possibly causing great consternation and confusion to the client's user. .
