Introduction
o VBScript is a scripting language.

o A scripting language is a lightweight programming language.
o VBScript is a light version of Microsoft's programming language Visual Basic.
When a VBScript is inserted into a HTML document, the Internet browser will read
the HTML and interpret the VBScript. The VBScript can be executed immediately, or
at a later event.
Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition brings active scripting to a wide variety of
environments, including Web client scripting in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Web
server scripting in Microsoft Internet Information Service.
1.1 Windows Script Host (WSH)
It is a Windows administration tool. WSH creates an environment for hosting scripts.
That is, when a script arrives at your computer, WSH plays the part of the host — it
makes objects and services available for the script and provides a set of guidelines
within which the script is executed. Among other things, Windows Script Host
manages security and invokes the appropriate script engine
Windows Script Host is built into Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, and Millennium
Editions and higher versions.
A Windows script is a text file. We can create a script with any text editor as long as
we save our script with a WSH-compatible script extension (.js, vbs, or .wsf).
The most commonly available text editor is already installed on our computer —
Notepad. We can also use your favorite HTML editor, VbsEdit, Microsoft Visual C++,
or Visual InterDev.
1.2 Creating a script with Notepad
1.Start Notepad.
2.Write your script. For example purposes, type Msgbox "Hello VB Script"
3.Save this text file with a .vbs extension (instead of the default .txt extension). For
example, Hello.vbs
4.Navigate to the file you just saved, and double-click it.
5.Windows Script Host invokes the VB Script engine and runs your script. In the
example, a message box is displayed with the message "Hello VB Script"
1.3 Hosting Environments and Script Engines
Scripts are often embedded in Web pages, either in an HTML page (on the client
side) or in an ASP page (on the server side).

gcrindia@gmail.com
In the case of a script embedded in an HTML page, the engine component that
interprets and runs the script code is loaded by the Web browser, such as Internet
Explorer.
In the case of a script embedded in an ASP page, the engine that interprets and runs
the script code is built into Internet Information Services (IIS).
Windows Script Host executes scripts that exist outside an HTML or ASP page and
that stand on their own as text files.
1.4 Available Script Engines
Generally, we write scripts in either Microsoft JScript or VBScript, the two script
engines that ship with Microsoft Windows 98, 2000 and Millennium Editions.
We can use other script engines, such as Perl, REXX, and Python, with Windows
Script Host.
A stand-alone script written in JScript has the .js extension; a stand-alone script
written in VBScript has the .vbs extension. These extensions are registered with
Windows. When we run one of these types of files, Windows starts Windows Script
Host, which invokes the associated script engine to interpret and run the file.

Comments
The comment argument is the text of any comment we want to include.
2.0 Purpose of comments:
o We can use comments for making the script understandable.

o We can use comments for making one or more statements disable from
execution.
2.1 Syntax
Rem comment (After the Rem keyword, a space is required before comment.)
Or
Apostrophe (') symbol before the comment
2.2 Comment/Uncomment a block of statements
Select block of statement and use short cut key Ctrl + M (for comment)
Select comment block and use short cut key Ctrl + Shift + M (for uncomment)
2.3 Example

VB Script Variables
A variable is a convenient placeholder that refers to a computer memory location

where we can store program information that may change during the time our script
is running.
3.1 Declaring Variables
We declare variables explicitly in our script using the Dim statement, the Public
statement, and the Private statement.
For example:
Dim city
Dim x
We declare multiple variables by separating each variable name with a comma. For
Example:
Dim x, Top, Bottom, Left, Right
We can also declare a variable implicitly by simply using its name in our script. That
is not generally a good practice because we could misspell the variable name in one
or more places, causing unexpected results when our script is run. For that reason,
the Option Explicit statement is available to require explicit declaration of all
variables.
The Option Explicit statement should be the first statement in our script.
3.2 Option Explicit
Forces explicit declaration of all variables in a script.
Option Explicit ' Force explicit variable declaration.

Dim MyVar ' Declare variable.
MyInt = 10 ' Undeclared variable generates error.
MyVar = 10 ' Declared variable does not generate error.
3.3 Naming Restrictions for Variables
Variable names follow the standard rules for naming anything in VBScript. A variable
name:
o Must begin with an alphabetic character.
o Cannot contain an embedded period.
o Must not exceed 255 characters.
o Must be unique in the scope in which it is declared.

gcrindia@gmail.com
3.4 Scope of Variables
A variable's scope is determined by where we declare it.
When we declare a variable within a procedure, only code within that procedure can
access or change the value of that variable.
If we declare a variable outside a procedure, we make it recognizable to all the

procedures in our script. This is a script-level variable, and it has script-level scope.
3.5 Life Time of Variables
The lifetime of a variable depends on how long it exists.
The lifetime of a script-level variable extends from the time it is declared until the
time the script is finished running.
At procedure level, a variable exists only as long as you are in the procedure.
3.6 Assigning Values to Variables
Values are assigned to variables creating an expression as follows:
The variable is on the left side of the expression and the value you want to assign to
the variable is on the right.
For example:
A = 200
City = “Hyderabad”
X=100: Y=200
3.7 Scalar Variables and Array Variables
A variable containing a single value is a scalar variable.
A variable containing a series of values, is called an array variable.
Array variables and scalar variables are declared in the same way, except that the
declaration of an array variable uses parentheses () following the variable name.
Example:
Dim A(3)
Although the number shown in the parentheses is 3, all arrays in VBScript are zero-
based, so this array actually contains 4 elements.
We assign data to each of the elements of the array using an index into the array.
Beginning at zero and ending at 4, data can be assigned to the elements of an array
as follows:

gcrindia@gmail.com
A(0) = 256
A(1) = 324
A(2) = 100
A(3) = 55
Similarly, the data can be retrieved from any element using an index into the
particular array element you want.
For example:
SomeVariable = A(4)
Arrays aren't limited to a single dimension. We can have as many as 60 dimensions,

although most people can't comprehend more than three or four dimensions.
In the following example, the MyTable variable is a two-dimensional array consisting

of 6 rows and 11 columns:
Dim MyTable(5, 10)
In a two-dimensional array, the first number is always the number of rows; the
second number is the number of columns.
3.8 Dynamic Arrays
We can also declare an array whose size changes during the time our script is
running. This is called a dynamic array.
The array is initially declared within a procedure using either the Dim statement or
using the ReDim statement.
However, for a dynamic array, no size or number of dimensions is placed inside the
parentheses.
For example:
Dim MyArray()
ReDim AnotherArray()
To use a dynamic array, you must subsequently use ReDim to determine the number
of dimensions and the size of each dimension.
In the following example, ReDim sets the initial size of the dynamic array to 25. A
subsequent ReDim statement resizes the array to 30, but uses the Preserve keyword
to preserve the contents of the array as the resizing takes place.
ReDim MyArray(25)
ReDim Preserve MyArray(30)
There is no limit to the number of times we can resize a dynamic array, although if
we make an array smaller, we lose the data in the eliminated elements.

VB Script Data Types
VBScript has only one data type called a Variant. A Variant is a special kind of data
type that can contain different kinds of information, depending on how it is used.
Because Variant is the only data type in VBScript, it is also the data type returned by
all functions in VBScript.
4.1 Variant Subtypes
Beyond the simple numeric or string classifications, a Variant can make further
distinctions about the specific nature of numeric information. For example, we can
have numeric information that represents a date or a time. When used with other
date or time data, the result is always expressed as a date or a time. We can also
have a rich variety of numeric information ranging in size from Boolean values to
huge floating-point numbers. These different categories of information that can be
contained in a Variant are called subtypes. Most of the time, we can just put the kind
of data we want in a Variant, and the Variant behaves in a way that is most
appropriate for the data it contains.
The following table shows subtypes of data that a Variant can contain.
Subtype Description
Empty Variant is uninitialized. Value is 0 for numeric variables or a zero-length string
("") for string variables.
Null Variant intentionally contains no valid data.
Boolean Contains either True or False.
Byte Contains integer in the range 0 to 255.
Integer Contains integer in the range -32,768 to 32,767.
Currency -922,337,203,685,477.5808 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807.
Long Contains integer in the range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
Single Contains a single-precision, floating-point number in the range -3.402823E38
to -1.401298E-45 for negative values; 1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive
values.
Double Contains a double-precision, floating-point number in the range -
1.79769313486232E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for negative values;
4.94065645841247E-324 to 1.79769313486232E308 for positive values.
Date (Time) Contains a number that represents a date between January 1, 100 to
December 31, 9999.
String Contains a variable-length string that can be up to approximately 2 billion
characters in length.
Object Contains an object.
Error Contains an error number.
We can use conversion functions to convert data from one subtype to another. In
addition, the VarType function returns information about how your data is stored
within a Variant.

VB Script Operators
Operators are used for performing mathematical, comparison and logical operations.
VBScript has a full range of operators, including arithmetic operators, comparison
operators, concatenation operators, and logical operators.
4.1 Operator Precedence
When several operations occur in an expression, each part is evaluated and resolved
in a predetermined order called operator precedence.
We can use parentheses to override the order of precedence and force some parts of
an expression to be evaluated before others.
Operations within parentheses are always performed before those outside. Within
parentheses, however, standard operator precedence is maintained.
When expressions contain operators from more than one category, arithmetic
operators are evaluated first, comparison operators are evaluated next, and logical
operators are evaluated last.
Comparison operators all have equal precedence; that is, they are evaluated in the
left-to-right order in which they appear.
Arithmetic and logical operators are evaluated in the following order of precedence.
4.2 Arithmetic Operators:
Operator Description
1) Exponentiation Operator (^) Raises a number to the power of an exponent
2) Multiplication Operator (*) Multiplies two numbers.
3) Division Operator (/) Divides two numbers and returns a floating-point
result.
4) Integer Division Operator (\) Divides two numbers and returns an integer result.
5) Mod Operator Divides two numbers and returns only the remainder.
6) Addition Operator (+) Sums two numbers.
7) Subtraction Operator (-) Finds the difference between two numbers or indicates
the negative value of a numeric expression.
8) Concatenation Operator (&) Forces string concatenation of two expressions.
4.3 Comparison Operators
Used to compare expressions.
1) = (Equal to) Used to compare expressions.
2) <> (Not equal to) Used to compare expressions.
3) < Less than
4) > Grater than
5) <= Less than or equal to

gcrindia@gmail.com
6) >= Greater than or equal to

7) Is Object equivalence
4.4 Concatenation Operators
1) Addition Operator (+) Sums two numbers
If Then
1) Both expressions are numeric Add.
2) Both expressions are strings Concatenate.
3) One expression is numeric and the Add.
other is a string
2) Concatenation Forces string concatenation of two expressions.
Operator (&)
4.5 Logical Operators
Operator Description Syntax

1) Not Performs logical negation on an result= Not expression
expression
2) And Performs a logical conjunction on two result= expression1 And
expressions. expression2
3) Or Performs a logical disjunction on two result= expression1 Or
4) Xor Performs a logical exclusion on two result= expression1 Xor
5) Eqv Performs a logical equivalence on result= expression1 Eqv
two expressions. expression2
6) Imp Performs a logical implication on two result= expression1 Imp

Input/Output Operations
6.1 InputBox Function
Displays a prompt in a dialog box, waits for the user to input text or click a button,
and returns the contents of the text box.
Example:
Dim Input
Input = InputBox("Enter your name")
MsgBox ("You entered: " & Input)
6.2 MsgBox Function
Displays a message in a dialog box, waits for the user to click a button, and returns a
value indicating which button the user clicked.
Example:
Dim MyVar
MyVar = MsgBox ("Hello World!", 65, "MsgBox Example")
' MyVar contains either 1 or 2, depending on which button is clicked.

VB Script Constants
A constant is a meaningful name that takes the place of a number or string and
never changes.
7.1 Creating Constants
We create user-defined constants in VBScript using the Const statement. Using the
Const statement, we can create string or numeric constants with meaningful names
and assign them literal values.
Const statement
Declares constants for use in place of literal values.
Example:
Const MyString = "This is my string."

Const MyAge = 49
Const CutoffDate = #6-1-97#
Note that String literal is enclosed in quotation marks (" ").
Represent Date literals and time literals by enclosing them in number signs (#).
We declare multiple constants by separating each constant name and value with a
comma. For example:
Const price= 100, city= “Hyderabad”, x= 27

gcrindia@gmail.com
Conditional Statements
We can control the flow of our script with conditional statements and looping
statements.
Using conditional statements, we can write VBScript code that makes decisions and
repeats actions. The following conditional statements are available in VBScript:
1) If…Then…Else Statement
2) Select Case Statement
8.1 Making Decisions Using If...Then...Else
The If...Then...Else statement is used to evaluate whether a condition is True or

False and, depending on the result, to specify one or more statements to run.
Usually the condition is an expression that uses a comparison operator to compare

one value or variable with another.
If...Then...Else statements can be nested to as many levels as you need.
8.1.1 Running a Statement if a Condition is True (single statement)
To run only one statement when a condition is True, use the single-line syntax for
the If...Then...Else statement.
Dim myDate
myDate = #2/13/98#
If myDate < Now Then myDate = Now
8.1.2 Running Statements if a Condition is True (multiple statements)
To run more than one line of code, we must use the multiple-line (or block) syntax.
This syntax includes the End If statement.
Dim x
x= 20
If x>10 Then
msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"
msgbox "x value is: "&x
msgbox "Bye Bye"
End If
8.1.3 Running Certain Statements if a Condition is True and Running Others

if a Condition is False
We can use an If...Then...Else statement to define two blocks of executable

statements: one block to run if the condition is True, the other block to run if the
condition is False.
Example:

gcrindia@gmail.com
Dim x
x= Inputbox (" Enter a value")
If x>100 Then
Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"
Msgbox "X is a Big Number"
Msgbox "X value is: "&X
Else
Msgbox "GCR"
Msgbox "X is a Small Number"
Msgbox "X value is: "&X
End If
8.1.4 Deciding Between Several Alternatives
A variation on the If...Then...Else statement allows us to choose from several

alternatives. Adding ElseIf clauses expands the functionality of the If...Then...Else
statement so we can control program flow based on different possibilities.
Example:
Dim x
x= Inputbox (" Enter a value")
If x>0 and x<=100 Then

Msgbox "X is a Small Number"
Msgbox "X value is "&x
Else IF x>100 and x<=500 Then

Msgbox "Hello GCR"
Msgbox "X is a Medium Number"
Else IF x>500 and x<=1000 Then

Msgbox "Hello Chandra Mohan Reddy"
Msgbox "X is a Large Number"
Else
Msgbox "Hello Sir"
Msgbox "X is a Grand Number"
End If
End If
End If
8.1.5 Executing a certain block of statements when two / more conditions

are True (Nested If...)
Example:
Dim State, Region

State=Inputbox ("Enter a State")
Region=Inputbox ("Enter a Region")
If state= "AP" Then

If Region= "Telangana" Then

gcrindia@gmail.com

msgbox "Dist count is 10"
Else if Region= "Rayalasema" Then

msgbox "Hello GCR"
Else If Region= "Costal" Then

msgbox "Hello Chandra mohan Reddy"
End If
End If
End If
End If
8.2 Making Decisions with Select Case
The Select Case structure provides an alternative to If...Then...ElseIf for selectively

executing one block of statements from among multiple blocks of statements. A
Select Case statement provides capability similar to the If...Then...Else statement,
but it makes code more efficient and readable.
Example:
Option explicit
Dim x,y, Operation, Result
x= Inputbox (" Enter x value")
y= Inputbox ("Enter y value")
Operation= Inputbox ("Enter an Operation")
Select Case Operation
Case "add"
Result= cdbl (x)+cdbl (y)
Msgbox "Addition of x,y values is "&Result
Case "sub"
Result= x-y
Msgbox "Substraction of x,y values is "&Result
Case "mul"
Result= x*y
Msgbox "Multiplication of x,y values is "&Result
Case "div"
Result= x/y
Msgbox "Division of x,y values is "&Result

gcrindia@gmail.com
Case "mod"
Result= x mod y
Msgbox "Mod of x,y values is "&Result
Case "expo"
Result= x^y
Msgbox"Exponentation of x,y values is "&Result
Case Else
msgbox "Wrong Operation"
End Select
8.3 Other Examples

Looping Through Code
o Looping allows us to run a group of statements repeatedly.

o Some loops repeat statements until a condition is False;
o Others repeat statements until a condition is True.
o There are also loops that repeat statements a specific number of times.
The following looping statements are available in VBScript:
o Do...Loop: Loops while or until a condition is True.
o While...Wend: Loops while a condition is True.
o For...Next: Uses a counter to run statements a specified number of times.
o For Each...Next: Repeats a group of statements for each item in a collection
or each element of an array.
9.1 Using Do Loops
We can use Do...Loop statements to run a block of statements an indefinite number

of times.
The statements are repeated either while a condition is True or until a condition
becomes True.
9.1.1 Repeating Statements While a Condition is True
Repeats a block of statements while a condition is True or until a condition becomes

True
a) Do While condition

VB Script Procedures
In VBScript, there are two kinds of procedures available; the Sub procedure and the
Function procedure.
11.1 Sub Procedures
A Sub procedure is a series of VBScript statements (enclosed by Sub and End Sub
statements) that perform actions but don't return a value.
A Sub procedure can take arguments (constants, variables, or expressions that are
passed by a calling procedure).
If a Sub procedure has no arguments, its Sub statement must include an empty set
of parentheses ().
Syntax:
Sub Procedure name ()
Statements
-----------
-----------
End Sub
Or
Sub Procedure name (argument1, argument2)
Statements
-----------
-----------
End Sub
Example: 1
Sub ConvertTemp()
temp = InputBox("Please enter the temperature in degrees F.", 1)
MsgBox "The temperature is " & Celsius(temp) & " degrees C."
End Sub
Example: 2
11.2 Function Procedures
A Function procedure is a series of VBScript statements enclosed by the Function and

End Function statements.
A Function procedure is similar to a Sub procedure, but can also return a value.
A Function procedure can take arguments (constants, variables, or expressions that

are passed to it by a calling procedure).
If a Function procedure has no arguments, its Function statement must include an

empty set of parentheses.

gcrindia@gmail.com
A Function returns a value by assigning a value to its name in one or more

statements of the procedure. The return type of a Function is always a Variant.
Syntax:
Function Procedure name ()
Statements
-----------
-----------
End Function
Or
Function Procedure name (argument1, argument2)
Statements
-----------
-----------
End Function
Example: 1
Function Celsius(fDegrees)
Celsius = (fDegrees - 32) * 5 / 9
End Function
Example: 2
Function cal(a,b,c)
cal = (a+b+c)
End Function
11.3 Getting Data into and out of Procedures

o Each piece of data is passed into our procedures using an argument.
o Arguments serve as placeholders for the data we want to pass into our
procedure. We can name our arguments any valid variable name.
o When we create a procedure using either the Sub statement or the Function
statement, parentheses must be included after the name of the procedure.
o Any arguments are placed inside these parentheses, separated by commas.
11.4 Using Sub and Function Procedures in Code
A Function in our code must always be used on the right side of a variable
assignment or in an expression.
For example:
Temp = Celsius(fDegrees)
-Or-
MsgBox "The Celsius temperature is " & Celsius(fDegrees) & " degrees."
To call a Sub procedure from another procedure, type the name of the procedure
along with values for any required arguments, each separated by a comma.
The Call statement is not required, but if you do use it, you must enclose any
arguments in parentheses.

gcrindia@gmail.com
The following example shows two calls to the MyProc procedure. One uses the Call
statement in the code; the other doesn't. Both do exactly the same thing.
Call MyProc(firstarg, secondarg)
MyProc firstarg, secondarg
Notice that the parentheses are omitted in the call when the Call statement isn't
used.

VBScript syntax rules and guidelines
21.1 Case-sensitivity:
By default, VBScript is not case sensitive and does not differentiate between upper
case and lower-case spelling of words, for example, in variables, object and method
names, or constants.
For example, the two statements below are identical in VBScript:
Browser("Mercury").Page("Find a Flight:").WebList("toDay").Select "31"

browser("mercury").page("find a flight:").weblist("today").select "31"
21.2 Text strings:
When we enter a value as a text string, we must add quotation marks before and
after the string. For example, in the above segment of script, the names of the Web
site, Web page, and edit box are all text strings surrounded by quotation marks.
Note that the value 31 is also surrounded by quotation marks, because it is a text
string that represents a number and not a numeric value.
In the following example, only the property name (first argument) is a text string
and is in quotation marks. The second argument (the value of the property) is a
variable and therefore does not have quotation marks. The third argument
(specifying the timeout) is a numeric value, which also does not need quotation
marks.
Browser("Mercury").Page("Find a Flight:").WaitProperty("items count", Total_Items,

2000)
21.3 Variables:
We can specify variables to store strings, integers, arrays and objects. Using
variables helps to make our script more readable and flexible
21.4 Parentheses:
To achieve the desired result and to avoid errors, it is important that we use
parentheses () correctly in our statements.
21.5 Indentation:
We can indent or outdent our script to reflect the logical structure and nesting of the
statements.
21.6 Comments:
We can add comments to our statements using an apostrophe ('), either at the
beginning of a separate line, or at the end of a statement. It is recommended that
we add comments wherever possible, to make our scripts easier to understand and
maintain.

gcrindia@gmail.com
21.7 Spaces:
We can add extra blank spaces to our script to improve clarity. These spaces are
ignored by VBScript.
Errors
We have two types Errors in VB Script; they are VBScript Run-time Errors and
VBScript Syntax Errors
13.1 VBScript Run-time Errors
VBScript run-time errors are errors that result when our VBScript script attempts to
perform an action that the system cannot execute. VBScript run-time errors occur
while our script is being executed; when variable expressions are being evaluated,
and memory is being dynamic allocated.
13.2 VBScript Syntax Errors
VBScript syntax errors are errors that result when the structure of one of our
VBScript statements violates one or more of the grammatical rules of the VBScript
scripting language. VBScript syntax errors occur during the program compilation
stage, before the program has begun to be executed.

VBScript Glossary
ActiveX control
An object that you place on a form to enable or enhance a user's interaction
with an application. ActiveX controls have events and can be incorporated into
other controls. The controls have an .ocx file name extension.
ActiveX object
An object that is exposed to other applications or programming tools through
Automation interfaces.
Argument
A constant, variable, or expression passed to a procedure.
Array
A set of sequentially indexed elements having the same type of data. Each
element of an array has a unique identifying index number. Changes made to
one element of an array do not affect the other elements.
ASCII Character Set

American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) 7-bit character
set widely used to represent letters and symbols found on a standard U.S.
keyboard. The ASCII character set is the same as the first 128 characters (0–
127) in the ANSI character set.
Automation object
An object that is exposed to other applications or programming tools through
Automation interfaces.
Bitwise comparison
A bit-by-bit comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric
expressions.
Boolean expression
An expression that evaluates to either True or False.
By reference
A way of passing the address, rather than the value, of an argument to a
procedure. This allows the procedure to access the actual variable. As a
result, the variable's actual value can be changed by the procedure to which it
is passed.

gcrindia@gmail.com
By value
A way of passing the value, rather than the address, of an argument to a
procedure. This allows the procedure to access a copy of the variable. As a
result, the variable's actual value can't be changed by the procedure to which
it is passed.
character code
A number that represents a particular character in a set, such as the ASCII
character set.
Class
The formal definition of an object. The class acts as the template from which
an instance of an object is created at run time. The class defines the
properties of the object and the methods used to control the object's
behavior.
Class module
A module containing the definition of a class (its property and method
definitions).
Collection
An object that contains a set of related objects. An object's position in the
collection can change whenever a change occurs in the collection; therefore,
the position of any specific object in the collection may vary.
Comment
Text added to code by a programmer that explains how the code works. In
Visual Basic Scripting Edition, a comment line generally starts with an
apostrophe ('), or you can use the keyword Rem followed by a space.
Comparison operator
A character or symbol indicating a relationship between two or more values or
expressions. These operators include less than (<), less than or equal to
(<=), greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), not equal (<>), and
equal (=).
Is is also a comparison operator, but it is used exclusively for determining if

one object reference is the same as another.
Constant
A named item that retains a constant value throughout the execution of a
program. Constants can be used anywhere in your code in place of actual
values. A constant can be a string or numeric literal, another constant, or any
combination that includes arithmetic or logical operators except Is and
exponentiation. For example:

gcrindia@gmail.com
Const A = "MyString"
Data ranges
Each Variant subtype has a specific range of allowed values:
Subtype Range
Byte 0 to 255.
Boolean True or False.
Integer -32,768 to 32,767.
Long -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
Single -3.402823E38 to -1.401298E-45 for negative values;

1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values.
Double -1.79769313486232E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for

negative values; 4.94065645841247E-324 to
1.79769313486232E308 for positive values.
Currency -922,337,203,685,477.5808 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807.
Date January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999, inclusive.
Object Any Object reference.
String Variable-length strings may range in length from 0 to

approximately 2 billion characters.
Date expression
Any expression that can be interpreted as a date. This includes any
combination of date literals, numbers that look like dates, strings that look
like dates, and dates returned from functions. A date expression is limited to
numbers or strings, in any combination, that can represent a date from
January 1, 100 through December 31, 9999.
Dates are stored as part of a real number. Values to the left of the decimal
represent the date; values to the right of the decimal represent the time.
Negative numbers represent dates prior to December 30, 1899.
Date literal
Any sequence of characters with a valid format that is surrounded by number
signs (#). Valid formats include the date format specified by the locale
settings for your code or the universal date format. For example, #12/31/99#
is the date literal that represents December 31, 1999, where English-U.S. is
the locale setting for your application.

gcrindia@gmail.com
In VBScript, the only recognized format is US-ENGLISH, regardless of the

actual locale of the user. That is, the interpreted format is mm/dd/yyyy.
Date separators
Characters used to separate the day, month, and year when date values are
formatted.
Empty
A value that indicates that no beginning value has been assigned to a
variable. Empty variables are 0 in a numeric context, or zero-length in a
string context.
Error number
A whole number in the range 0 to 65,535, inclusive, that corresponds to the
Number property of the Err object. When combined with the Name property
of the Err object, this number represents a particular error message.
Expression
A combination of keywords, operators, variables, and constants that yield a
string, number, or object. An expression can perform a calculation,
manipulate characters, or test data.
Intrinsic constant
A constant provided by an application. Because you can't disable intrinsic
constants, you can't create a user-defined constant with the same name.
Keyword
A word or symbol recognized as part of the VBScript language; for example, a
statement, function name, or operator.
Locale
The set of information that corresponds to a given language and country. A
locale affects the language of predefined programming terms and locale-
specific settings. There are two contexts where locale information is
important:
• The code locale affects the language of terms such as keywords and
defines locale-specific settings such as the decimal and list separators,
date formats, and character sorting order.
• The system locale affects the way locale-aware functionality behaves,
for example, when you display numbers or convert strings to dates.
You set the system locale using the Control Panel utilities provided by
the operating system.

Nothing
The special value that indicates that an object variable is no longer associated
with any actual object.
Null
A value indicating that a variable contains no valid data. Null is the result of:
• An explicit assignment of Null to a variable.

• Any operation between expressions that contain Null.
Numeric expression
Any expression that can be evaluated as a number. Elements of the
expression can include any combination of keywords, variables, constants,
and operators that result in a number.
Object type
A type of object exposed by an application, for example, Application, File,
Range, and Sheet. Refer to the application's documentation (Microsoft Excel,
Microsoft Project, Microsoft Word, and so on) for a complete listing of
available objects.
pi
Pi is a mathematical constant equal to approximately 3.1415926535897932.
Private
Variables that are visible only to the script in which they are declared.
Procedure
A named sequence of statements executed as a unit. For example, Function
and Sub are types of procedures.
Procedure level
Describes statements located within a Function or Sub procedure.
Declarations are usually listed first, followed by assignments and other
executable code. For example:
Sub MySub() ' This statement declares a sub procedure block.

Dim A ' This statement starts the procedure block.
A = "My variable" ' Procedure-level code.
Debug.Print A ' Procedure-level code.
End Sub ' This statement ends a sub procedure block.
Note that script-level code resides outside any procedure blocks.

gcrindia@gmail.com
Property
A named attribute of an object. Properties define object characteristics such
as size, color, and screen location, or the state of an object, such as enabled
or disabled.
Public
Variables declared using the Public Statement are visible to all procedures in
all modules in all applications.
Run time
The time when code is running. During run time, you can't edit the code.
Run-time error
An error that occurs when code is running. A run-time error results when a
statement attempts an invalid operation.
Scope
Defines the visibility of a variable, procedure, or object. For example, a
variable declared as Public is visible to all procedures in all modules.
Variables declared in procedures are visible only within the procedure and
lose their value between calls.
SCODE
A long integer value that is used to pass detailed information to the caller of
an interface member or API function. The status codes for OLE interfaces and
APIs are defined in FACILITY_ITF.
Script level
Any code outside a procedure is referred to as script-level code.
Seed
An initial value used to generate pseudorandom numbers. For example, the
Randomize statement creates a seed number used by the Rnd function to
create unique pseudorandom number sequences.
String comparison
A comparison of two sequences of characters. Unless specified in the function
making the comparison, all string comparisons are binary. In English, binary
comparisons are case-sensitive; text comparisons are not.

gcrindia@gmail.com
String expression
Any expression that evaluates to a sequence of contiguous characters.
Elements of a string expression can include a function that returns a string, a
string literal, a string constant, or a string variable.
Type library
A file or component within another file that contains standard descriptions of
exposed objects, properties, and methods.
Variable
A named storage location that can contain data that can be modified during
program execution. Each variable has a name that uniquely identifies it within
its level of scope.
Variable names:
• Must begin with an alphabetic character.

• Can't contain an embedded period or type-declaration character.
• Must be unique within the same scope.
• Must be no longer than 255 characters.

A variable's scope is determined by where we declare it.

If we declare a variable outside a procedure, we make it recognizable to all the

3.5 Life Time of Variables

The lifetime of a variable depends on how long it exists.

3.6 Assigning Values to Variables

Values are assigned to variables creating an expression as follows:

3.7 Scalar Variables and Array Variables

A variable containing a single value is a scalar variable.

A variable containing a series of values, is called an array variable.

G.C.Reddy, QTP Trainer (Mobile: 9247837478) 6

Arrays aren't limited to a single dimension. We can have as many as 60 dimensions,

In the following example, the MyTable variable is a two-dimensional array consisting

Dim MyTable(5, 10)
