MVBasic Overview

MVBasic is the Caché implementation of multivalue basic. Within Caché, MVBasic has the same status as ObjectScript and Caché Basic. MVBasic can be used anywhere that these languages can be used, including:

Any Caché method. Use the Language keyword: [ Language = mvbasic ].
Caché Server Page (CSP) scripts. Use the language attribute of the <script> tag: <script language="mvbasic">

MVBasic routines can be developed using Studio which provides coloring, syntax checking, and a debugger.

In addition to the standard features of multivalue basic, MVBasic includes:

Syntax for opening MultiValue files.
Object Syntax.
Syntax for accessing Caché Global Arrays.
