Terseness

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

Terseness

Oh come on...they're not THAT much smaller.

Really? You're telling me there's no big difference between:

@SetDocField(targetUNID; "myfield", "1");

and:

Dim contextDoc as NotesDocument

Dim targetDoc as NotesDocument

Set contextDoc = (whatever)

Set targetDoc = contextDoc.ParentDatabase.GetDocumentByUNID(contextDoc.targetUNID(0))

targetDoc.myfield = "1"

Call targetDoc.Save(False, False)

? And with SSJS you can't use dot notation to reference items, so you're talking about even longer code needed.

@Formula's terseness and similarity to Excel is one of the biggest reasons to use it -- for small snippets of code. I've got an army of power users that can really get what they need done with @Formulas, but they'd be far less productive dealing with any other language.
