Here's a definition of the function:
LayoutDiagramEx (string DiagramGUID, long LayoutStyle, long Iterations, long LayerSpacing, long ColumnSpacing, boolean SaveToDiagram)

And description of LayoutStyle parameter:

LayoutStyle accepts the following options
•      Default Options:
    - lsDiagramDefault
    - lsProgramDefault
 
•      Cycle Removal Options:
    - lsCycleRemoveGreedy
    - lsCycleRemoveDFS
 
•      Layering Options:
    - lsLayeringLongestPathSink
    - lsLayeringLongestPathSource

lsLayeringOptimalLinkLength
 
•      Initialize Options:
    - IsInitializeNaive
    - IsInitializeDFSOut

IsInitializeDFSIn
 
•      Crossing Reduction Option:
    - lsCrossReduceAggressive

•      Layout Options - Direction

lsLayoutDirectionUp

lsLayoutDirectionDown

lsLayoutDirectionLeft

lsLayoutDirectionRight

And what should I pass as LayoutStyle parameter? What kind of long should it be?

Ah, that help... Look into the constants that are defined in the ScriptingLib MDG. Or probably you number the list which appears after ConstLayoutStyles Enum in the help.

Here's the working code snippet:

!INC Local Scripts.EAConstants-JScript

function main ()
{
      var DiagramGUID, LayoutStyle, Iterations, LayerSpacing, ColumnSpacing, SaveToDiagram;
      var Project as EA.Project;
      
      Project = Repository.GetProjectInterface();
      
      DiagramGUID = Project.GUIDtoXML( Repository.GetCurrentDiagram().DiagramGUID );
      
      //See ConstLayoutStyles in EAConstants-JScript
      //LayoutStyle = lsDiagramDefault
      LayoutStyle = lsCycleRemoveDFS | lsLayeringOptimalLinkLength | lsInitializeDFSOut | lsLayoutDirectionDown;
      
      Iterations = 4;
      LayerSpacing = 20;
      ColumnSpacing = 20;
      SaveToDiagram = false;

      Project.LayoutDiagramEx( DiagramGUID, LayoutStyle, Iterations, LayerSpacing, ColumnSpacing, SaveToDiagram );
}

main();
