In Part 3, you'll learn about more interesting and useful features of ObjectScript.

  • Functions: $Order, $Translate, $Replace, $Get, $Test.

  • Commands: Lock, TStart, TCommit, TRollback.

  • A little bit about objects, properties, and instance methods, including the standard object methods %New(), %OpenId(), and %Save().

  • Accessing data using SQL.
