Syntax

RunVBScript ( strScript, "optTagReturnError" )

strScript: Script statement that must be executed by the function.
optTagReturnError: Name of the tag that will receive the error (if any) generated by the statement (e.g., "Division by zero"). The tag name must be configured between double-quotes and it must be a String tag.

Returned value

0	Error
1	Success

Examples

Tag Name	Expression
`TagResult`	`RunVBScript("MsgBox(Time)")` // Executes the MsgBox function from VBScript and displays the current time.
	`RunVBScript(TagStatement)` // Executes the statement configured in the value of the string tag `TagStatement`.
	`RunVBScript("$TagC=$TagA/$TagB", "TagError")` // Writes in `TagC` the result of `TagA` divided by `TagB`. The error generated by the operation (if any) is written to the string tag `TagError` (e.g., "Division by zero").

Tip: This function is useful to execute VBScript statements from interfaces that support the built-in language only (e.g., Scheduler groups). You can also call VBSCript functions created in the Global Procedures.

Note: The runtime station must support the VBScript statements configured in this function in order to execute them.
