OCLC supplies the object class Connex.Client. Commands in OML macros automate Connexion client actions by accessing a subset of client functionality through this object class, which is the interface between the client functionality and OML.
To gain access to the functions provided by Connex.Client, an OML macro contains two lines that do the following:
The only way to create a macro that automates Connexion client operations is to use the variable CS as an instance of the class Connex.Client. You can then use the capabilities of that class of object to make the macro work. By using the appropriate object, you can, for example, write a macro to log on to Connexion, automate a search, modify a record, display a record from a list, or take an action on a record.
The tasks an object can do are called methods or member functions of the object. OML Help uses the term commands for the methods of the client object class.
