COS Script Functions

This section describes COS functions that can be called from scripts. These functions provide services that allow a script to access object data stored in the COS database.

For an example of how to use COS script functions to access COS database data, see the script %PMS_HOME%\dm\macro\Examples\CosListObject.mac. This script serves as a simple data viewer for debugging as it lists the contents of the selected COS object of the selected type, and automatically displays the list in Notepad:

• COS properties of the object.
• Attributes of the object.
• References to and from this object.
• The data section as text. (For some binary COS object types this can be a problem, for example icons are binary.)
