Your best to make a directory called HOLIDAY
under your \Alpha4v2 directory.
The enclosed database and scripts are intended
to show you how to have A4 script language
interact with your database.
The example is a simple application to count
the number of holiday, Saturdays and Sundays
a person takes off while on vacation. The Holidays
are entered in a text file by {VSAVE}, this allows different
companies in different countries to customize holidays
to their own policies.
There are a few nice tricks here, like the / | \ - wait indicator
right on a form, and Reading dates from a Form.
This script is not intended to be complete. For
example, you might want to check if the dates entered exceed the last
date on the Holiday table.
This is intended to be a tutorial
on mastering Alpha Four's script
language.
This version is a little rough still. I would
appreciate any comments or suggestions you may
have.
