Scripting

I'm used to using Unix to do scripting. It's a pretty powerful scripting
language with some looping, conditions, text editing/modification, etc. Does
DOS have all that built in as well? Is that you guys use to script? If so,
does it have looping, conditions, etc somewhat like Unix?CLM,
Try VBScript. SQL Server has the capability to used ActiveX scripts in DTS
packages and jobs.
For more information on VBScript see:
