    return (ContinueOperation);
}

Set a default value for a field when a new record is created.

function Applet_FieldChanged (FieldName) {
    if(FieldName == "Phone") {

    }
    return (ContinueOperation);
}

Automatically updates another field when one field changes on an applet.

function QueryActiveAccounts () {
    var bc = TheApplication().GetBusObject("Account").GetBusComp("Account");
    bc.ClearToQuery();
    bc.SetViewMode(AllView);
    bc.ActivateField("Name");
    bc.SetSearchSpec("Status", "Active");
    bc.ExecuteQuery(ForwardOnly);
    while(bc.NextRecord()) {
        var name = bc.GetFieldValue("Name");
        TheApplication().Trace(name);
    }
}

Query accounts with a specific status using eScript.

function BusComp_PreWriteRecord () {
    var qty = parseInt(this.GetFieldValue("Quantity"));
    var price = parseFloat(this.GetFieldValue("UnitPrice"));
    this.SetFieldValue("TotalPrice", (qty * price).toString());
    return (ContinueOperation);
}

Compute a derived field based on two other fields in a record.

function CallWorkflow () {
    var wf = TheApplication().GetService("Workflow Process Manager");
    var inputs = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();
    var outputs = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();
    inputs.SetProperty("WorkflowName", "UpdateAccountStatus");
    wf.InvokeMethod("RunWorkflow", inputs, outputs);
}

Invoke a Siebel workflow process from eScript.

function UpdateMultipleFields () {
    var bc = TheApplication().GetBusObject("Opportunity").GetBusComp("Opportunity");
    bc.ActivateField("Stage");
    bc.ActivateField("Probability");
    bc.SetFieldValue("Stage", "Negotiation");
    bc.SetFieldValue("Probability", "50");
    bc.WriteRecord();
}

Update multiple fields at once in a business component.

function Applet_PreQuery () {
    this.BusComp().SetSearchSpec("Industry", "Technology");
    return (ContinueOperation);
}

Modify the query criteria dynamically before executing a query on an applet.

function Applet_PreWriteRecord () {
    var name = this.BusComp().GetFieldValue("AccountName");
    if(name == "") {
        TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("Account Name is required.");
        return (CancelOperation);
    }
    return (ContinueOperation);
}
