Callisto Script is based on Object Pascal. As there are many features within Object Pascal, 
this document will only cover the most commonly used within the Script.   

To customise the rules in the Callisto Script, the script will have to be edited. As the script 
is written in Object Pascal, the Administrator will need to be aware of some programming 
concepts before attempting to edit the Script.  

 

A Variable is a name for a location in memory. The name of the Variable can be used to 
read or write to the memory location.  The variables are usually defined as: 

   var 

Several Variables of the same type can be defined on the same line, separating them with 
commas. The Var section can include many declarations of variables. For example: 

 

MaxPageCount, MaxCopyCount: Integer; 

MsgText, DisplayTxt: String; 

IsRoom5: Boolean; 

 

 

 

There are different types of variables that can be defined. The most common type of 
variables used are Integer, String, Boolean and DateTime. Integers store whole numbers; 
String holds text values and Boolean are logical values (either True or False).  DateTime 
contains the Date and Time values. The Var section is always defined before the procedure 
Process section.  Once the variables are defined at the beginning of the script; these can be 
assigned values and used within the script itself. 

The next example shows the MsgText variable being defined before the procedure Process.  
The MsgText variable is then assigned a string that is used later in the script.
