Whether your execute a script manually, according to a schedule, or when triggered by an
event, the script is executed on the QuarkXPress Server Manager server computer.
Consequently, not all of the console output displays in QuarkXPress Server Manager
Scripting Environment result window. Only the final result or error returned by the script
execution displays in QuarkXPress Server Manager Scripting Environment.
When you call functions, you specify the function name and parameter values.
QuarkXPress Server Manager Scripting Environment includes on-demand syntax checking.
To include an existing script in a new script, use the load command. At runtime,
QuarkXPress Server Manager copies the target script into the new script. For an example
of how this works, see the sample scripts. Note that the syntax checker does not check the
syntax of a script that is included using the load command.
