== Scripting Language in PlanoTse ==

[[Wikipedia:Scripting language|Scripting language]] is an informal way to tell a software application what to do in a sequence of steps but without the use of input devices and, just as important, without the need for knowledge of a computer programming language as taught in a formal course of some computer science program.

# Enter the character string, ''say hello'', in the Code input box then press the button '''[Run PlanoTseScript]'''. You will see your source code is corrected and place in between curly brackets as required by PlanoTseScript syntax and the code is immediately executed with the resulting dialog box to say 'hello'.
# Press the OK button to continue.

Now, clear the 
the Code input box and, again, press the button '''[Run PlanoTseScript]'''. The source code is now "{ ; }" and the execution fails. PlanoTse brings up the window, [[PlanoTse Handbook for Job Search Automation/Trace Log|PlanoTseScript Execution Trace Log]], to show you the trace log of this failed execution.

The standard unit of data in PlanoTse is called a data item, also known as a data holder. You can place your PlanoTseScript source code inside a data holder and tell PlanoTse what to do with the data therein. Technically speaking, if PlanoTseScript is an operator then data holders and their attributes are its operands.
