While you can create your Job script in any text editor and name your file with the
.jobscript extension, you can create it using Job script API editor
of your Talend Studio, making
full use of the facilities offered by Talend Studio.
In the Job script editor of your Talend Studio, you can
use the auto-completion (Ctrl+Space) to help you write your Job
script. Functions, parameters, and some values will be suggested to you.
The code will display in color to easily differentiate the code, the values and the
comment, and the syntax is checked for any mistake. If a parameter is wrongly set a red
cross displays. For more information on customizing Job script display in the Talend Studio, see How to customize Job script display. For information on managing Job
script templates, see How to create Job script templates.
