to edit the script in a qvw like in edit-mode is not possible.

Or do you mean the supporting tasks?

find it on tab System/Supporting Tasks /qvd Creation. Then choose the script you want to edit and you can edit in on the right tab.

I believe that the "Supporting tasks" tab is only available in Publisher Installations.

I don't think there is a way. Question is why you want to? 🙂

Make Load scripts external to your documents. Give the external script files a .qvs extension and include the script files in your QVW documents wherever needed using the $(INCLUDE=ScriptPath) or $(MUST_INCLUDE=ScriptPath) constructs.

A properly configured editor like NotePad++ will automatically recognize a QlikView script file and its contents, and will be a much better tool to edit script files than the QMC.

This is also a good technique to introduce central configuration files, like e.g. a CONNECT string for a DB connection that is used in several documents. Nobody wants to adjust 10 QVWs simply because some DB parameter has changed.

A central configuration- or script file that is included in every document allows you to update many documents with a single edit.

Supporting tasks are available only if you have a QlikView Publisher license
