Script Sync Help
About Script Sync:
ScriptSync is a conduit that works with scripts,batch files.
When SS starts loads the script "default.txt" and executes each line during a hotsync session
It is very easy to program it, all you do is to write a text file,you can even use the editor that inserts commands with tips etc.

You always use the keywords terminated with a  = sign

Like LOG="C:\MYDATA\MYLOG:TXT"

Parameter must be between "   "  - Chr(34)

"10"

"SMSF" Etc.

When Multiple parameters then - sign between

"SMSF"-"10"-"10"

"SMSF" <<< CREATOR ID of the application "00" <<< Version Mayor Of the application ( SF 4.XX,5.XX Needs this,Other versions ignored ) "00" <<< Version Minor Of the application ( SF 4.XX,5.XX Needs this,Other versions ignored )
GETSF= "C:\TOPSYNCWIZARD\SF_DEMO\TRYSF.DBF"-"50"-"SMSF"-"00"-"00" Will get the pdb from palm and convert it to DBF
SENDSF	SENDSF="C:\TOPSYNCWIZARD\SF_DEMO\TRYSF.DBF"-"50"-"SMSF"-"00"-"00" Parameters are the same as GETSF

Variables
{PALMUSER}	The name of the connected user as variable Not as a Keyword they can be used in the script  CHAIN="C:\USERS\{PALMUSER}\ChainedScript.txt" will be "C:\USERS\PDATEC\ChainedScript.txt" if the palm users name is PDATEC
{USERPATH}	The path of the connected user CHAIN="{USERPATH}\ChainedScript.txt" can be during hotsync CHAIN="C:\PALM\PDATEC\ChainedScript.txt"
{NEWUSER}	Will be = to user name if its a new user >> PALMUSER={NEWUSER} will return true PALMUSER={NEWUSER} GOTO=FORNEWUSERS will jump to label :FORNEWUSERS if the user is connecting for the first time

 Some notes about the script rules:

• any line without beginning a keyword with = sign will be ignored
• only labels beginnig with  :  is an exception
• CHAIN Can not chain to itself or during a hotsync session every chained script will be executed only 1 time
• If an error ocures with the script then the next line will be executed , goto Keyword will be ignored
• even if ENDSYNC= not used the scyn oeration will be terminated after interpreting the last line
• SHELLWAIT=10="C:\TOPSYNCWIZARD\ExternalProgram.exe {USERPATH}" is correct,it will call the external program with the parameter userpath

PS:

For correct SF conversion the sf runtimes must be present on the desktop.
