Support for JavaScript

DMM Studio supports scripts written in JavaScript. It uses the SpiderMonkey (JavaScript-C) Engine from Mozilla. For more information about the SpiderMonkey engine, go to http://www.mozilla.org. The engine is open source and protected under either the NPL or GPL.

DMM Studio supports all Core Language Features (Part 1) described in the complete JavaScript (ECMA Script) 1.5 documentation. To view a complete language reference, go to http://developer.mozilla.org. In the Search field, enter JavaScript 1.5.

Note: Unicode characters were not supported in scripts written with earlier releases of CA DMM (prior to r11) as the script engine for those releases did not support Unicode characters. For this reason, you might want to migrate those scripts. You can run these scripts using the current release.

In earlier releases, the script engine supports internationalization as long as the operating system supports the language. For example, you can use Japanese characters in a script that runs on a Japanese operating system. However, you cannot run the script that contains Japanese characters on an English system.
