Re: [QUAR] Re: Rép. : With PDM on the mind , a question about options and substitution variables

You use standard JavaScript debugging techniques. You can use the alert statement to popup variables, you can use the out statement to write to the console, or you may be able to use one of the JavaScript debuggers out there, although I haven't tried the latter.

Remember, this isn't about writing complex applications, it's for writing simple macro scripts.

Joe,

how do you debug these scripts?

What PDM needs is built-in scripting. Rexx would be a good choice. Fat chance!

And what Eclipse (RDi) has that PDM does not is exactly that - all kinds of built-in scripting. Currently most of it is a little rough around the edges, but it's very interesting. I've been playing with something called Eclipse Monkey that allows you to write RPG editor scripts using JavaScript.
