What is a Script?

A script is a program, application or job that is written with syntax available from the WPS language support and possibly augmented with bespoke language elements created with the WPS Language SDK.

Editing and Maintaining Scripts

WPS has an Integrated Development Environment known as the WPS Workbench that has facilities for creating, modifying and maintaining scripts.

Scripts are essentially only text files and so it is also possible to create and edit them using any standard text editor.

Running Scripts

On all supported platforms, scripts can be run from the WPS Command Line Interface, WPS CLI. This is often referred to as running in batch mode.

WPS Workbench also provides a graphical user interface for running scripts and displaying the resulting output such as logs, listing output, HTML output, data sets, etc.
