JScript Reserved Words (Windows Scripting - JScript)

  • Article

 

JScript has a number of reserved words that you cannot use as identifiers. Reserved words have a specific meaning to the JScript language, as they are part of the language syntax. Using a reserved word causes a compilation error when loading your script.

JScript also has a list of future reserved words. These words are not currently part of the JScript language, although they are reserved for future use.
