Write scripts for OLE and/or COM Objects

The following script change must be made from InTouch QuickScript to Application Server QuickScript .NET when using OLE and/or COM objects.

Within InTouch, the function call

OLE_CreateObject(%Name, "ProgramID")

is used to create an instance of an OLE automation object with a starting character for the name of either % or #.

Within Application Server, a standard variable name without the leading % or # is used with a "DIM Name as Object" statement. The variable is then assigned to the OLE/COM object by using the CreateObject("ProgramID") function.

For example, the following code creates a QI Analyst data component object.

InTouch

OLE_CreateObject(%QIDC, "QI.DataComponent");

Application Server

DIM QIDC AS Object;

QIDC = CreateObject("QI.DataComponent");
