QV12 $Include and Directory

rwunderlich — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 14:48:52 GMT

I just noted today that Include / Must_Include now respect the Directory statement. For example.

Assume My.qvw and a file config.txt in the same directory.

DIRECTORY Data;

$(Must_Include=config.txt);

This will work in QV11. The Directory statement does not affect the relative path of an include.

It will fail in QV12 SR3 with the error message:

$(MUST_INCLUDE failed: C:\foo\Data\config.txt

because it will look for the config.txt in the Data subfolder.

Any comments as to whether this is desirable, intentional or bug behavior? This will be a breaking change for many QV11 users. I find the Help unclear on the topic.

This is consistent with the change to Qvd*() functions respecting Directory. QV12: QVD Functions Respect Directory | Qlikview Cookbook

Hi Rob,

I noticed a similar issue with QV 12.10 SR6 where the directory function doesn't work. I can't find anything on the release notes so I am not sure if this was intentional or it is a bug.
