Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Also call this local function, AddItem, into the OnRun trigger."

A block of code is set as follows:

LOCAL AddItem()
CLEARLASTERROR;
IF ExceptionHandle.Try('12345','MyTestItem') THEN
  MESSAGE('Item added Successfully')
ELSE
  MESSAGE('Error Returned Error : %1 - %2', 
  GETLASTERRORCODE,GETLASTERRORTEXT);

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

LOCAL AddItem()
CLEARLASTERROR;
IF ExceptionHandle.Try('12345','MyTestItem') THEN
  MESSAGE('Item added Successfully')
ELSE
  MESSAGE('Error Returned Error : %1 - %2', 
  GETLASTERRORCODE,GETLASTERRORTEXT);

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

C:\Python34\Scripts> pip install -upgrade pip
C:\Python34\Scripts> pip install pandas

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "In the Report Properties window, click on the code option in the left pane."

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
