About object scripts

The following characteristics apply to the scripting environment:

• Script text has no length limitations.

• Selecting a script function from the Script Function Library dialog box adds it and its syntax to the script text where you can edit it.

• You can save a script with syntax errors, but the object cannot be deployed until you correct the script syntax errors.

• You can validate your scripts before using them. This helps you avoid syntactically correct but semantically incorrect combinations such as two statements declaring the same variable. Variables can be declared only one time in a single block.

• You can change the name of a script at any time by renaming it in the Object Editor.

• In the runtime environment, a script execution error stops the script’s current execution. Script execution is retried on the next AppEngine scan.
