Adding MVBasic Code — CSP Scripts

CSP can use MVBasic routines to generate dynamic CSP content. There are several different approaches for including MVBasic routines in a CSP page. One approach is to use CSP Scripts — blocks of code between <script></script> tags. Each time that Caché generates the page, the code in the script executes. Here are the steps:

Open FirstPage.CSP in Studio.

Add the following directive at the very top of the file. The directive sets the default “page language” of the CSP page to MVBasic


<%@page language="mvbasic"%>

Replace any code currently between the <body></body> tags with the following. Note that both the language and runat attributes are required by the <script> tag. Their values must by “mvbasic” and “server” respectively.
```
<script language="mvbasic" runat="server">
PRINT "<h2>Welcome to CSP!</h2>"
PRINT TIMEDATE()
</script>                  
                 
```
The FirstPage.CSP code looks like this
Click Build–>Compile to recompile FirstPage.CSP
Click View–>Web Page to see the new page:
