Can one use Option Explicit in COM?

I've tried to use Option Explicit but don't know where to put this line of
code. I've check through the docs on COM and could not find any reference
that one can use option explicit in COM.

any ideas?

cheers

What do you eman when you say "in COM"?

Option Explicit is a statement used in VBScript; in VBScript, it should be
the first executable line of code.

Option Explicit is a statement specific to VBScript and Visual Basic (I
presume you mean a VB ActiveXDLL component). It should be the first line of
a class, module or form code to be applied.
Option Explicit is used at compile time to ensure that all variables have
been declared. If not then the compilation will fail with an error.

From your prior posts, I assume that, by "COM" you mean WSC. If not, then
disregard this response. If so, the answer is yes. You can put it at the
start of the global code for each component. If this is what you mean, then
for future reference, refer to WSC files or, more generally, to classes or
XML encoding. COM can be any type of code that results in a standalone
accessible component.

Hi,

Yes sorry I forgot to mention that it was COM for WSC.

I tried for example:

function GetIP(strComputerName)

Option Explicit

GetIP = strComputerName

end function

but got the error "expected statement" on trying to register the COM. the
error occurs on the line "Option Explicit".

I'm using primalscript.

How now?

cheers

Top of the *global* code for the component:



<component id="...">
<registration ... />
<public>
<method name="..." />
...

<property name="..." get="..." />
...
</public>

<object id="..." progid="..." />
...

<script language="VBScript">
<![CDATA[

option explicit

dim ...'global variables
... 'global settings, etc.

function GetIP(strComputerName)
GetIP = strComputerName
end function

...

]]>
</script>
</component>
