Basically you just build your DSU file like an ordinary subroutine or series of subroutines.

You grab the values passed to the DSU by %1, %2 and so on. Then go on and do your stuff.

If you wish to return a value to the calling script, you EXIT with the value as a parameter, like this:

EXIT %%output

Have a look in the units section:

Lots of the DSUs available there for download also include the source. If you study those a bit, you'll get the idea
pretty fast, I guess.

Don't forget to mention the 'error -1' command, it sets @ok() to false after the command/function is called.

Look into the section mentioned above. Try to download a couple of the DSUs there. I know that CodeScript is
usually very generous about supplying source code along with his DSUs.

E.g. this one:

But there is a lot more there, just for the taking..

Hi noveltech

As Dr Dread already said you can have a look at those links:
Many DSU there come with source.

Also if you want them at a single place then
you can visit:
http://codescript.vdsworld.com/
Both the sources code and dll sections have DSUs
and many of them come with source

You can also a take a look at the DSU tutorial:
