Introduction
o
VBScript is a scripting language.
A scripting language is a lightweight programming language.
VBScript is a light version of Microsoft's programming language Visual Basic.
When a VBScript is inserted into a HTML document, the Internet browser will read the HTML
and interpret the VBScript. The VBScript can be executed immediately, or at a later event.
Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition brings active scripting to a wide variety of
environments, including Web client scripting in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Web server
scripting in Microsoft Internet Information Service.
1.1 Windows Script Host (WSH)
It is a Windows administration tool. WSH creates an environment for hosting scripts.
That is, when a script arrives at your computer, WSH plays the part of the host it makes
objects and services available for the script and provides a set of guidelines within which the
script is executed. Among other things, Windows Script Host manages security and invokes
the appropriate script engine
Windows Script Host is built into Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, and Millennium Editions and
higher versions.
A Windows script is a text file. We can create a script with any text editor as long as we
save our script with a WSH-compatible script extension (.js, vbs, or .wsf).
The most commonly available text editor is already installed on our computer Notepad.
We can also use your favorite HTML editor, VbsEdit, Microsoft Visual C++, or Visual
InterDev.
1.2 Creating a script with Notepad
1.Start Notepad.
2.Write your script. For example purposes, type Msgbox "Hello VB Script"
3.Save this text file with a .vbs extension (instead of the default .txt extension). For
example, Hello.vbs
4.Navigate to the file you just saved, and double-click it.
5.Windows Script Host invokes the VB Script engine and runs your script. In the example, a
message box is displayed with the message "Hello VB Script"
1.3 Hosting Environments and Script Engines
Scripts are often embedded in Web pages, either in an HTML page (on the client side) or in
an ASP page (on the server side).
www.gcreddy.com

In the case of a script embedded in an HTML page, the engine component that interprets
and runs the script code is loaded by the Web browser, such as Internet Explorer.
In the case of a script embedded in an ASP page, the engine that interprets and runs the
script code is built into Internet Information Services (IIS).
Windows Script Host executes scripts that exist outside an HTML or ASP page and that stand
on their own as text files.
1.4 Available Script Engines
Generally, we write scripts in either Microsoft JScript or VBScript, the two script engines that
ship with Microsoft Windows 98, 2000 and Millennium Editions.
We can use other script engines, such as Perl, REXX, and Python, with Windows Script Host.
A stand-alone script written in JScript has the .js extension; a stand-alone script written in
VBScript has the .vbs extension. These extensions are registered with Windows. When we
run one of these types of files, Windows starts Windows Script Host, which invokes the
associated script engine to interpret and run the file.

Comments
The comment argument is the text of any comment we want to include.
2.0 Purpose of comments:
o
We can use comments for making the script understandable.
We can use comments for making one or more statements disable from execution.
2.1 Syntax
Rem comment (After the Rem keyword, a space is required before comment.)
Or
Apostrophe (') symbol before the comment
2.2 Comment/Uncomment a block of statements
Select block of statement and use short cut key Ctrl + M (for comment)
Select comment block and use short cut key Ctrl + Shift + M (for uncomment)
2.3 Example

VB Script Variables
A variable is a convenient placeholder that refers to a computer memory location where we
can store program information that may change during the time our script is running.
3.1 Declaring Variables
We declare variables explicitly in our script using the Dim statement, the Public statement,
and the Private statement.
For example:
Dim city
Dim x
We declare multiple variables by separating each variable name with a comma. For
Example:
Dim x, Top, Bottom, Left, Right
We can also declare a variable implicitly by simply using its name in our script. That is not
generally a good practice because we could misspell the variable name in one or more
places, causing unexpected results when our script is run. For that reason, the Option
Explicit statement is available to require explicit declaration of all variables.
The Option Explicit statement should be the first statement in our script.
3.2 Option Explicit
Forces explicit declaration of all variables in a script.
Option Explicit ' Force explicit variable declaration.
Dim MyVar ' Declare variable.
MyInt = 10 ' Undeclared variable generates error.
MyVar = 10 ' Declared variable does not generate error.
3.3 Naming Restrictions for Variables
Variable names follow the standard rules for naming anything in VBScript. A variable name:
o
Must begin with an alphabetic character.
Cannot contain an embedded period.
Must not exceed 255 characters.
Must be unique in the scope in which it is declared.
3.4 Scope of Variables

A variable's scope is determined by where we declare it.
www.gcreddy.com
When we declare a variable within a procedure, only code within that procedure can access
or change the value of that variable.
If we declare a variable outside a procedure, we make it recognizable to all the procedures
in our script. This is a script-level variable, and it has script-level scope.
3.5 Life Time of Variables
The lifetime of a variable depends on how long it exists.
The lifetime of a script-level variable extends from the time it is declared until the time the
script is finished running.
At procedure level, a variable exists only as long as you are in the procedure.
3.6 Assigning Values to Variables
Values are assigned to variables creating an expression as follows:
The variable is on the left side of the expression and the value you want to assign to the
variable is on the right.
For example:
A = 200
City = Hyderabad
X=100: Y=200
3.7 Scalar Variables and Array Variables
A variable containing a single value is a scalar variable.
A variable containing a series of values, is called an array variable.
Array variables and scalar variables are declared in the same way, except that the
declaration of an array variable uses parentheses () following the variable name.
Example:
Dim A(3)
Although the number shown in the parentheses is 3, all arrays in VBScript are zero-based,
so this array actually contains 4 elements.
We assign data to each of the elements of the array using an index into the array.
Beginning at zero and ending at 4, data can be assigned to the elements of an array as
follows:
A(0)
A(1)
A(2)
A(3)
=
=
=
=
256
324
100
55
www.gcreddy.com
Similarly, the data can be retrieved from any element using an index into the particular
array element you want.
For example:
SomeVariable = A(4)
Arrays aren't limited to a single dimension. We can have as many as 60 dimensions,
although most people can't comprehend more than three or four dimensions.
In the following example, the MyTable variable is a two-dimensional array consisting of 6
rows and 11 columns:
Dim MyTable(5, 10)
In a two-dimensional array, the first number is always the number of rows; the second
number is the number of columns.
3.8 Dynamic Arrays
We can also declare an array whose size changes during the time our script is running. This
is called a dynamic array.
The array is initially declared within a procedure using either the Dim statement or using the
ReDim statement.
However, for a dynamic array, no size or number of dimensions is placed inside the
parentheses.
For example:
Dim MyArray()
ReDim AnotherArray()
To use a dynamic array, you must subsequently use ReDim to determine the number of
dimensions and the size of each dimension.
In the following example, ReDim sets the initial size of the dynamic array to 25. A
subsequent ReDim statement resizes the array to 30, but uses the Preserve keyword to
preserve the contents of the array as the resizing takes place.
ReDim MyArray(25)
ReDim Preserve MyArray(30)
There is no limit to the number of times we can resize a dynamic array, although if we make
an array smaller, we lose the data in the eliminated elements.

VB Script Data Types
VBScript has only one data type called a Variant. A Variant is a special kind of data type that
can contain different kinds of information, depending on how it is used.
Because Variant is the only data type in VBScript, it is also the data type returned by all
functions in VBScript.
4.1 Variant Subtypes
Beyond the simple numeric or string classifications, a Variant can make further distinctions
about the specific nature of numeric information. For example, we can have numeric
information that represents a date or a time. When used with other date or time data, the
result is always expressed as a date or a time. We can also have a rich variety of numeric
information ranging in size from Boolean values to huge floating-point numbers. These
different categories of information that can be contained in a Variant are called subtypes.
Most of the time, we can just put the kind of data we want in a Variant, and the Variant
behaves in a way that is most appropriate for the data it contains.
The following table shows subtypes of data that a Variant can contain.
Subtype
Description
Empty Variant is uninitialized. Value is 0 for numeric variables or a zero-length string ("") for
string variables.
Null
Variant intentionally contains no valid data.
Boolean
Contains either True or False.
Byte Contains integer in the range 0 to 255.
Integer
Contains integer in the range -32,768 to 32,767.
Currency
-922,337,203,685,477.5808 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807.
Long Contains integer in the range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
Single Contains a single-precision, floating-point number in the range -3.402823E38 to
-1.401298E-45 for negative values; 1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values.
Double Contains a double-precision, floating-point number in the range
-1.79769313486232E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for negative values;
4.94065645841247E-324 to 1.79769313486232E308 for positive values.
Date (Time) Contains a number that represents a date between January 1, 100 to
December 31, 9999.
String Contains a variable-length string that can be up to approximately 2 billion characters
in length.
Object Contains an object.
Error Contains an error number.
We can use conversion functions to convert data from one subtype to another. In addition,
the VarType function returns information about how your data is stored within a Variant.

VB Script Operators
Operators are used for performing mathematical, comparison and logical operations.
VBScript has a full range of operators, including arithmetic operators, comparison operators,
concatenation operators, and logical operators.
4.1 Operator Precedence
When several operations occur in an expression, each part is evaluated and resolved in a
predetermined order called operator precedence.
We can use parentheses to override the order of precedence and force some parts of an
expression to be evaluated before others.
Operations within parentheses are always performed before those outside. Within
parentheses, however, standard operator precedence is maintained.
When expressions contain operators from more than one category, arithmetic operators are
evaluated first, comparison operators are evaluated next, and logical operators are
evaluated last.
Comparison operators all have equal precedence; that is, they are evaluated in the left-toright order in which they appear.
Arithmetic and logical operators are evaluated in the following order of precedence.
4.2 Arithmetic Operators:

Dim Input
Input = InputBox("Enter your name")
MsgBox ("You entered: " & Input)
6.2 MsgBox Function
Displays a message in a dialog box, waits for the user to click a button, and returns a value
indicating which button the user clicked.
Example:
Dim MyVar
MyVar = MsgBox ("Hello World!", 65, "MsgBox Example")
' MyVar contains either 1 or 2, depending on which button is clicked.

VB Script Constants
A constant is a meaningful name that takes the place of a number or string and never
changes.
7.1 Creating Constants
We create user-defined constants in VBScript using the Const statement. Using the Const
statement, we can create string or numeric constants with meaningful names and assign
them literal values.
Const statement
Declares constants for use in place of literal values.
Example:
Const MyString = "This is my string."
Const MyAge = 49
Const CutoffDate = #6-1-97#
Note that String literal is enclosed in quotation marks (" ").
Represent Date literals and time literals by enclosing them in number signs (#).
We declare multiple constants by separating each constant name and value with a comma.
For example:
Const price= 100, city= Hyderabad, x= 27
www.gcreddy.com
12

Conditional Statements
We can control the flow of our script with conditional statements and looping statements.
Using conditional statements, we can write VBScript code that makes decisions and repeats
actions. The following conditional statements are available in VBScript:
1) IfThenElse Statement
2) Select Case Statement
8.1 Making Decisions Using If...Then...Else
The If...Then...Else statement is used to evaluate whether a condition is True or False and,
depending on the result, to specify one or more statements to run.
Usually the condition is an expression that uses a comparison operator to compare one
value or variable with another.
If...Then...Else statements can be nested to as many levels as you need.
8.1.1 Running a Statement if a Condition is True (single statement)
To run only one statement when a condition is True, use the single-line syntax for the
If...Then...Else statement.
Dim myDate
myDate = #2/13/98#
If myDate < Now Then myDate = Now
8.1.2 Running Statements if a Condition is True (multiple statements)
To run more than one line of code, we must use the multiple-line (or block) syntax. This
syntax includes the End If statement.
Dim x
x= 20
If x>10 Then
msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"
msgbox "x value is: "&x
msgbox "Bye Bye"
End If
8.1.3 Running Certain Statements if a Condition is True and Running Others if a
Condition is False
We can use an If...Then...Else statement to define two blocks of executable statements: one
block to run if the condition is True, the other block to run if the condition is False.
Example:
Dim x
x= Inputbox (" Enter a value")
www.gcreddy.com
13

If x>100 Then
Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"
Msgbox "X is a Big Number"
Msgbox "X value is: "&X
Else
Msgbox "GCR"
Msgbox "X is a Small Number"
Msgbox "X value is: "&X
End If
8.1.4 Deciding Between Several Alternatives
A variation on the If...Then...Else statement allows us to choose from several alternatives.
Adding ElseIf clauses expands the functionality of the If...Then...Else statement so we can
control program flow based on different possibilities.
Example:
Dim x
x= Inputbox (" Enter a value")
If x>0 and x<=100 Then
Msgbox "X is a Small Number"
Msgbox "X value is "&x
Else IF x>100 and x<=500 Then
Msgbox "Hello GCR"
Msgbox "X is a Medium Number"
Else IF x>500 and x<=1000 Then
Msgbox "Hello Chandra Mohan Reddy"
Msgbox "X is a Large Number"
Else
End If
End If
End If
Msgbox "Hello Sir"

Msgbox "X is a Grand Number"
8.1.5 Executing a certain block of statements when two / more conditions are
True (Nested If...)
Example:
Dim State, Region
State=Inputbox ("Enter a State")
Region=Inputbox ("Enter a Region")
If state= "AP" Then
If Region= "Telangana" Then
msgbox "Dist count is 10"
www.gcreddy.com
14
Else if Region= "Rayalasema" Then

msgbox "Hello GCR"
Else If Region= "Costal" Then
msgbox "Hello Chandra mohan Reddy"
End
End
End
End
If
If
If
If
8.2 Making Decisions with Select Case

The Select Case structure provides an alternative to If...Then...ElseIf for selectively
executing one block of statements from among multiple blocks of statements. A Select Case
statement provides capability similar to the If...Then...Else statement, but it makes code
more efficient and readable.
Example:
Option explicit
Dim x,y, Operation, Result
x= Inputbox (" Enter x value")
y= Inputbox ("Enter y value")
Operation= Inputbox ("Enter an Operation")
Select Case Operation
Case "add"
Result= cdbl (x)+cdbl (y)
Msgbox "Addition of x,y values is "&Result
Case "sub"
Result= x-y
Msgbox "Substraction of x,y values is "&Result
Case "mul"
Result= x*y
Msgbox "Multiplication of x,y values is "&Result
Case "div"
Result= x/y
Msgbox "Division of x,y values is "&Result
Case "mod"
Result= x mod y
www.gcreddy.com
15

Msgbox "Mod of x,y values is "&Result
Case "expo"
Result= x^y
Msgbox"Exponentation of x,y values is "&Result
Case Else

msgbox "Wrong Operation"
End Select

Looping allows us to run a group of statements repeatedly.
Some loops repeat statements until a condition is False;
Others repeat statements until a condition is True.
There are also loops that repeat statements a specific number of times.
The following looping statements are available in VBScript:

o
Do...Loop: Loops while or until a condition is True.
While...Wend: Loops while a condition is True.
For...Next: Uses a counter to run statements a specified number of times.
For Each...Next: Repeats a group of statements for each item in a collection or each
element of an array.
9.1 Using Do Loops

We can use Do...Loop statements to run a block of statements an indefinite number of
times.
The statements are repeated either while a condition is True or until a condition becomes
True.
9.1.1 Repeating Statements While a Condition is True
Repeats a block of statements while a condition is True or until a condition becomes True
a) Do While condition
Statements
--------------------Loop
Or, we can use this below syntax:
Example:
Dim x
Do While x<5 x=x+1
Msgbox "Hello QTP"
Loop
b) Do
Statements
--------------------Loop While condition

22

Example:
Dim x
x=1
Do
Msgbox "Hello QTP"
x=x+1
Loop While x<5
9.1.2 Repeating a Statement Until a Condition Becomes True
c) Do Until condition
Statements
--------------------Loop
Example:
Dim x
Do Until x=5 x=x+1
Msgbox "G.C.Reddy"
Msgbox "Hello QTP"
Loop
d) Do
Statements
--------------------Loop Until condition
Example:
Dim x
x=1
Do
Msgbox Hello G.C.Reddy
Msgbox "Hello QTP"
x=x+1
Loop Until x=5
9.2 While...Wend Statement
Executes a series of statements as long as a given condition is True.
Syntax:
While condition
Statements
---------------------
www.gcreddy.com
23

Wend
Example:
Dim x
x=0
While x<5 x=x+1
msgbox "Hello QTP"
Wend
9.3 For...Next Statement
Repeats a group of statements a specified number of times.
Syntax:
For counter = start to end [Step step]
statements
Next
Example:
Dim x
For x= 1 to 5 step 1
Next
9.4 For Each...Next Statement
Repeats a group of statements for each element in an array or collection.
Syntax:
For Each item In array
Statements
Next
Example: (1
Dim a,b,x (3)
a=20
b=30
x(0)= "Addition is "& a+b
x(1)="Substraction is " & a-b
x(2)= "Multiplication is " & a*b
x(3)= "Division is " & a/b
For Each element In x
msgbox element
Next
Example: (2
MyArray = Array("one","two","three","four","five")
For Each element In MyArray
msgbox element

VB Script Procedures
In VBScript, there are two kinds of procedures available; the Sub procedure and the
Function procedure.
11.1 Sub Procedures
A Sub procedure is a series of VBScript statements (enclosed by Sub and End Sub
statements) that perform actions but don't return a value.
A Sub procedure can take arguments (constants, variables, or expressions that are passed
by a calling procedure).
If a Sub procedure has no arguments, its Sub statement must include an empty set of
parentheses ().
Syntax:
Sub Procedure name ()
Statements
--------------------End Sub
Or
Sub Procedure name (argument1, argument2)
Statements
--------------------End Sub
Example: 1
Sub ConvertTemp()
temp = InputBox("Please enter the temperature in degrees F.", 1)
MsgBox "The temperature is " & Celsius(temp) & " degrees C."
End Sub
Example: 2
11.2 Function Procedures
A Function procedure is a series of VBScript statements enclosed by the Function and End
Function statements.
A Function procedure is similar to a Sub procedure, but can also return a value.
A Function procedure can take arguments (constants, variables, or expressions that are
passed to it by a calling procedure).
If a Function procedure has no arguments, its Function statement must include an empty
set of parentheses.
www.gcreddy.com
26

A Function returns a value by assigning a value to its name in one or more statements of
the procedure. The return type of a Function is always a Variant.
Syntax:
Function Procedure name ()
Statements
--------------------End Function
Or
Function Procedure name (argument1, argument2)
Statements
--------------------End Function
Example: 1
Function Celsius(fDegrees)
Celsius = (fDegrees - 32) * 5 / 9
End Function
Example: 2
Function cal(a,b,c)
cal = (a+b+c)
End Function
11.3 Getting Data into and out of Procedures
o
Each piece of data is passed into our procedures using an argument.
Arguments serve as placeholders for the data we want to pass into our procedure.
We can name our arguments any valid variable name.
When we create a procedure using either the Sub statement or the Function
statement, parentheses must be included after the name of the procedure.
Any arguments are placed inside these parentheses, separated by commas.
11.4 Using Sub and Function Procedures in Code

A Function in our code must always be used on the right side of a variable assignment or in
an expression.
For example:
Temp = Celsius(fDegrees)
-OrMsgBox "The Celsius temperature is " & Celsius(fDegrees) & " degrees."
To call a Sub procedure from another procedure, type the name of the procedure along with
values for any required arguments, each separated by a comma.
www.gcreddy.com
27

The Call statement is not required, but if you do use it, you must enclose any arguments in
parentheses.
The following example shows two calls to the MyProc procedure. One uses the Call
statement in the code; the other doesn't. Both do exactly the same thing.
Call MyProc(firstarg, secondarg)
MyProc firstarg, secondarg
Notice that the parentheses are omitted in the call when the Call statement isn't used.

VBScript syntax rules and guidelines

21.1 Case-sensitivity:
By default, VBScript is not case sensitive and does not differentiate between upper case and
lower-case spelling of words, for example, in variables, object and method names, or
constants.
For example, the two statements below are identical in VBScript:
Browser("Mercury").Page("Find a Flight:").WebList("toDay").Select "31"
browser("mercury").page("find a flight:").weblist("today").select "31"
21.2 Text strings:
When we enter a value as a text string, we must add quotation marks before and after the
string. For example, in the above segment of script, the names of the Web site, Web page,
and edit box are all text strings surrounded by quotation marks.
Note that the value 31 is also surrounded by quotation marks, because it is a text string
that represents a number and not a numeric value.
In the following example, only the property name (first argument) is a text string and is in
quotation marks. The second argument (the value of the property) is a variable and
therefore does not have quotation marks. The third argument (specifying the timeout) is a
numeric value, which also does not need quotation marks.
Browser("Mercury").Page("Find a Flight:").WaitProperty("items count", Total_Items, 2000)
21.3 Variables:
We can specify variables to store strings, integers, arrays and objects. Using variables helps
to make our script more readable and flexible
21.4 Parentheses:
To achieve the desired result and to avoid errors, it is important that we use parentheses ()
correctly in our statements.
21.5 Indentation:
We can indent or outdent our script to reflect the logical structure and nesting of the
statements.
21.6 Comments:
We can add comments to our statements using an apostrophe ('), either at the beginning of
a separate line, or at the end of a statement. It is recommended that we add comments
wherever possible, to make our scripts easier to understand and maintain.
www.gcreddy.com
33
21.7 Spaces:
We can add extra blank spaces to our script to improve clarity. These spaces are ignored by
VBScript.
Errors
We have two types Errors in VB Script; they are VBScript Run-time Errors and VBScript
Syntax Errors
13.1 VBScript Run-time Errors
VBScript run-time errors are errors that result when our VBScript script attempts to perform
an action that the system cannot execute. VBScript run-time errors occur while our script is
being executed; when variable expressions are being evaluated, and memory is being
dynamic allocated.
13.2 VBScript Syntax Errors
VBScript syntax errors are errors that result when the structure of one of our VBScript
statements violates one or more of the grammatical rules of the VBScript scripting
language. VBScript syntax errors occur during the program compilation stage, before the
program has begun to be executed.

VBScript Glossary
ActiveX control
An object that you place on a form to enable or enhance a user's interaction with an
application. ActiveX controls have events and can be incorporated into other controls.
The controls have an .ocx file name extension.
ActiveX object
An object that is exposed to other applications or programming tools through
Automation interfaces.
www.gcreddy.com
68
Argument
A constant, variable, or expression passed to a procedure.
Array
A set of sequentially indexed elements having the same type of data. Each element
of an array has a unique identifying index number. Changes made to one element of
an array do not affect the other elements.
ASCII Character Set
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) 7-bit character set
widely used to represent letters and symbols found on a standard U.S. keyboard. The
ASCII character set is the same as the first 128 characters (0127) in the ANSI
character set.
Automation object
An object that is exposed to other applications or programming tools through
Automation interfaces.
Bitwise comparison
A bit-by-bit comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric expressions.
Boolean expression
An expression that evaluates to either True or False.
By reference
A way of passing the address, rather than the value, of an argument to a procedure.
This allows the procedure to access the actual variable. As a result, the variable's
actual value can be changed by the procedure to which it is passed.
By value
A way of passing the value, rather than the address, of an argument to a procedure.
This allows the procedure to access a copy of the variable. As a result, the variable's
actual value can't be changed by the procedure to which it is passed.
character code
A number that represents a particular character in a set, such as the ASCII character
set.
Class
www.gcreddy.com
69

The formal definition of an object. The class acts as the template from which an
instance of an object is created at run time. The class defines the properties of the
object and the methods used to control the object's behavior.
Class module
A module containing the definition of a class (its property and method definitions).
Collection
An object that contains a set of related objects. An object's position in the collection
can change whenever a change occurs in the collection; therefore, the position of
any specific object in the collection may vary.
Comment
Text added to code by a programmer that explains how the code works. In Visual
Basic Scripting Edition, a comment line generally starts with an apostrophe ('), or
you can use the keyword Rem followed by a space.
Comparison operator
A character or symbol indicating a relationship between two or more values or
expressions. These operators include less than (<), less than or equal to (<=),
greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), not equal (<>), and equal (=).
Is is also a comparison operator, but it is used exclusively for determining if one
object reference is the same as another.
Constant
A named item that retains a constant value throughout the execution of a program.
Constants can be used anywhere in your code in place of actual values. A constant
can be a string or numeric literal, another constant, or any combination that includes
arithmetic or logical operators except Is and exponentiation. For example:
Const A = "MyString"
Data ranges
Each Variant subtype has a specific range of allowed values:
Subtype
Range
Byte
0 to 255.
Boolean
True or False.
Integer
-32,768 to 32,767.
Long
-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
www.gcreddy.com
70

Single
-3.402823E38 to -1.401298E-45 for negative values; 1.401298E-45

to 3.402823E38 for positive values.
Double
-1.79769313486232E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for negative

values; 4.94065645841247E-324 to 1.79769313486232E308 for
positive values.
Currency -922,337,203,685,477.5808 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807.

Date
January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999, inclusive.
Object
Any Object reference.
String
Variable-length strings may range in length from 0 to approximately

2 billion characters.
Date expression
Any expression that can be interpreted as a date. This includes any combination of
date literals, numbers that look like dates, strings that look like dates, and dates
returned from functions. A date expression is limited to numbers or strings, in any
combination, that can represent a date from January 1, 100 through December 31,
9999.
Dates are stored as part of a real number. Values to the left of the decimal represent
the date; values to the right of the decimal represent the time. Negative numbers
represent dates prior to December 30, 1899.
Date literal
Any sequence of characters with a valid format that is surrounded by number signs
(#). Valid formats include the date format specified by the locale settings for your
code or the universal date format. For example, #12/31/99# is the date literal that
represents December 31, 1999, where English-U.S. is the locale setting for your
application.
In VBScript, the only recognized format is US-ENGLISH, regardless of the actual
locale of the user. That is, the interpreted format is mm/dd/yyyy.
Date separators
Characters used to separate the day, month, and year when date values are
formatted.
Empty
A value that indicates that no beginning value has been assigned to a variable.
Empty variables are 0 in a numeric context, or zero-length in a string context.
www.gcreddy.com
71
Error number
A whole number in the range 0 to 65,535, inclusive, that corresponds to the
Number property of the Err object. When combined with the Name property of the
Err object, this number represents a particular error message.
Expression
A combination of keywords, operators, variables, and constants that yield a string,
number, or object. An expression can perform a calculation, manipulate characters,
or test data.
Intrinsic constant
A constant provided by an application. Because you can't disable intrinsic constants,
you can't create a user-defined constant with the same name.
Keyword
A word or symbol recognized as part of the VBScript language; for example, a
statement, function name, or operator.
Locale
The set of information that corresponds to a given language and country. A locale
affects the language of predefined programming terms and locale-specific settings.
There are two contexts where locale information is important:
The code locale affects the language of terms such as keywords and defines
locale-specific settings such as the decimal and list separators, date formats,
and character sorting order.
The system locale affects the way locale-aware functionality behaves, for
example, when you display numbers or convert strings to dates. You set the
system locale using the Control Panel utilities provided by the operating
system.
Nothing
The special value that indicates that an object variable is no longer associated with
any actual object.
Null
A value indicating that a variable contains no valid data. Null is the result of:
An explicit assignment of Null to a variable.
Any operation between expressions that contain Null.
Numeric expression
Any expression that can be evaluated as a number. Elements of the expression can
include any combination of keywords, variables, constants, and operators that result
in a number.
www.gcreddy.com
72
Object type
A type of object exposed by an application, for example, Application, File, Range, and
Sheet. Refer to the application's documentation (Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Project,
Microsoft Word, and so on) for a complete listing of available objects.
pi
Pi is a mathematical constant equal to approximately 3.1415926535897932.
Private
Variables that are visible only to the script in which they are declared.
Procedure
A named sequence of statements executed as a unit. For example, Function and
Sub are types of procedures.
Procedure level
Describes statements located within a Function or Sub procedure. Declarations are
usually listed first, followed by assignments and other executable code. For example:
Sub MySub() ' This statement declares a sub procedure block.
Dim A ' This statement starts the procedure block.
A = "My variable" ' Procedure-level code.
Debug.Print A ' Procedure-level code.
End Sub ' This statement ends a sub procedure block.
Note that script-level code resides outside any procedure blocks.
Property
A named attribute of an object. Properties define object characteristics such as size,
color, and screen location, or the state of an object, such as enabled or disabled.
Public
Variables declared using the Public Statement are visible to all procedures in all
modules in all applications.
Run time
The time when code is running. During run time, you can't edit the code.
Run-time error
www.gcreddy.com
73

An error that occurs when code is running. A run-time error results when a
statement attempts an invalid operation.
Scope
Defines the visibility of a variable, procedure, or object. For example, a variable

declared as Public is visible to all procedures in all modules. Variables declared in
procedures are visible only within the procedure and lose their value between calls.
SCODE
A long integer value that is used to pass detailed information to the caller of an
interface member or API function. The status codes for OLE interfaces and APIs are
defined in FACILITY_ITF.
Script level
Any code outside a procedure is referred to as script-level code.
Seed
An initial value used to generate pseudorandom numbers. For example, the

Randomize statement creates a seed number used by the Rnd function to create
unique pseudorandom number sequences.
String comparison
A comparison of two sequences of characters. Unless specified in the function making
the comparison, all string comparisons are binary. In English, binary comparisons are
case-sensitive; text comparisons are not.
String expression
Any expression that evaluates to a sequence of contiguous characters. Elements of a
string expression can include a function that returns a string, a string literal, a string
constant, or a string variable.
Type library
A file or component within another file that contains standard descriptions of exposed
objects, properties, and methods.
Variable
A named storage location that can contain data that can be modified during program
execution. Each variable has a name that uniquely identifies it within its level of
scope.
Variable names:
Must begin with an alphabetic character.
www.gcreddy.com
74
Can't contain an embedded period or type-declaration character.

Must be unique within the same scope.
Must be no longer than 255 characters.

Looping allows us to run a group of statements repeatedly.

Some loops repeat statements until a condition is False;

Others repeat statements until a condition is True.

The following looping statements are available in VBScript:

Do...Loop: Loops while or until a condition is True.

While...Wend: Loops while a condition is True.

For...Next: Uses a counter to run statements a specified number of times.
