The externalhandlers table

This is a 'database table' parameter. Please refer to passing database tables for a detailed explanation of database tables layout. In all the following examples we assume that the recordseparator is ^ and the fieldseparator is | .

Record definition
Field Name Type Default Range
0 key string no default, obligatory field  
1 script string no default, obligatory field script code

script code & context

External handlers contain script code. The scope of the code being executed is the same as the context of the applet.

So just imagine that the applet is replaced by the script code, to determine the context of your script code.
