Directory function not working on 12.10 SR6

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 14:48:52 GMT

Hi all,

We just upgraded to QV 12.10 SR6 and have experienced an issue where we used the directory function.

Somehow where the directory was defined using this function the model fails. If I use a variable then it works fine. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Regards,
Archi

Maybe it's related to this: QV12 $Include and Directory.

Please specify by what you mean by not working. You said the model fails, which I understand to mean a script error?

There are changes in QV12 related to Directory. QVD*() functions and $(Include) now respect the Directory. Could you provide some specifics such as log messages for your problem?

Hi Rob,

Here's an example of what I meant.

Directory 'C:\Program Files\QlikView';

Load *

From QVData\TestData.xls ....

In QV11 this would have fetched data from C:\Program

Files\QlikView\QVData\TestData.xls w but now in QV12.10 SR6 it doesn't

work. Somehow this version doesn't recognise the value that you give to

directory but instead it gives a script error.

Archi

Can you post the relevant script log lines?
