Calls a function written in Basic, using function calls to System Architect that are included in what is referred to as SA Basic.
The component scripts are used for LISTOF and EXPRESSIONOF lists. The action taken by the script works against each item in the list. For example, the syntax COMPONENT_SCRIPT fmtomtattr returns all attributes and their corresponding C- storage types, separated by : (colon).
By convention, the function itself is named with one of the following prefixes:
fmtxxx
The function itself is in hard code and cannot be modified. Most functions in SAPROPS.CFG are this way. Hard-coding the function makes System Architect’s response faster.
_fmtxxx
Exists in the FMTSCRIPT.BAS file in System Architect’s main executable directory.
For information on how to create your own script, see SCRIPT.
