# Script Transformation Editor (Script Page)
  Use the **Script** tab of the **Script Transformation Editor** dialog box to specify a script and related properties.  
  
 To learn more about the Script component, see [Script Component](data-flow/transformations/script-component.md) and [Configuring the Script Component in the Script Component Editor](extending-packages-scripting/data-flow-script-component/configuring-the-script-component-in-the-script-component-editor.md). To learn about programming the Script component, see [Extending the Data Flow with the Script Component](extending-packages-scripting/data-flow-script-component/extending-the-data-flow-with-the-script-component.md).  
  
## Options  
 **Properties**  
 View and modify the properties of the Script transformation. Many of the properties displayed are read-only. You can modify the following properties:  
  
|Value|Description|  
|-----------|-----------------|  
|**Description**|Describe the script transformation in terms of its purpose.|  
|**LocaleID**|Specify the locale to provide region-specific information for ordering, and for date and time conversion.|  
|**Name**|Type a descriptive name for the component.|  
|**ValidateExternalMetadata**|Indicate whether the Script transformation validates column metadata against external data sources at design time. A value of `false` delays validation until the time of execution.|  
|**ReadOnlyVariables**|Type a comma-separated list of variables for read-only access by the Script transformation.<br /><br /> Note: Variable names are case-sensitive.|  
|**ReadWriteVariables**|Type a comma-separated list of variables for read/write access by the Script transformation.<br /><br /> Note: Variable names are case-sensitive.|  
|**ScriptLanguage**|Select the script language to be used by the Script component.<br /><br /> To set the default script language for Script components and Script tasks, use the **Scripting language** option on the **General** page of the **Options** dialog box. For more information, see [General Page](general-page-of-integration-services-designers-options.md).|  
|**UserComponentTypeName**|Specifies the <xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponentHost> class and the `Microsoft.SqlServer.TxScript` assembly that support the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] infrastructure.|  
  
 **Edit Script**  
 Use [!INCLUDE[msCoName](../includes/msconame-md.md)] [!INCLUDE[vsprvs](../includes/vsprvs-md.md)] Tools for Applications (VSTA) to create or modify a script.
