This topic provides information about EZscript which is a scripting language that allows you to write your own scripts and expressions to include with the processes and transformations. A script contains a code snippet. The scripting engine can directly evaluate the script to produce the required result.
Expressions are very similar to scripts, but are normally stored as part of one of the larger artifacts.
The following file extensions are supported:
• .ezscript
• .rifl (support provided for backward compatibility with v9 and v8)
• .bas (support provided for backward compatibility with v9 and v8)
