3.2.4 Using Easy Input

You can use the Easy Input program to enter commands and statements in a script file. With Easy Input, you can enter commands easily and accurately without needing any command-specific knowledge.

You can paste the entered commands and statements to an editor using the To Editor button.

To use Easy Input from Script Editor:

1. Choose Edit, Easy Input to start the Easy Input facility.

   The Script Easy Input window appears.

   

   For details about using this window, see 3.3 Easy Input operations.

2. Click the Options button. In the General tab of the Options dialog box, set the version of the script file to be created.

   

3. Click the Edit tab. In the Edit tab of the Options dialog box, set the format for output to Editor.

   

   For details about how to set the dialog box, see 3.3.4 Setting the line length and indent size.

4. Click the OK button.

   The script file version and clipboard output format are set. The Script Easy Input window appears again.

   

5. Find and select the command or statement you want to use.

   The focus shifts to the command or statement you selected. In this example, CalcTime is selected.

   

6. Click the Display button, or double-click the command or statement.

   If you selected a command, the arguments that need to be set appear in the Argument/Statement area.

   If you selected a statement, the statement syntax appears in this area.

   

7. Enter the command arguments.

   

8. Click the To Editor button.

   The contents that you set in the Argument/Statement area are pasted to Editor.
