Calling a SUB in QlikView

xyz_1011 — Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:28:36 GMT

Hey all,

i am facing a strange behaviour: I am including a SUB via a QVS file and try to CALL it from qithin my QVW. Doing so results in a "Semantic Error". I have checked the SUB works by simply putting it directly into the QVW script and then calling it...that works fine. Must be somethng around the fact that i am including it.

Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this ? (putting it directlky into the QVW is not an option...)

Thanks!!

Hi there, so I'm not sure what you have already tried, so apologies if I am being too obvious.

1) I assume you are including the qvs in your load script e.g.

$(Include=..\..\..\Resources\Configuration Files\QVFunctionsLibrary.qvs);

2) The SUB you have in the QVS is only used once in the file i.e. the QVS is not some massive library and you have the Sub name used twice for different purposes

If you are doing both the above then I don't know, can you give a basic example of qvw and qvs you can attach or alternatively I can do one showing you calling a SUB from a QVS working?

In the meantime i found out that ghe problem only presents itself when i am including all SUBs in a loop (i have them in several different QVS files). when i explicitely only include one QVS with a SUB in it, i can call it just fine.

Ah OK, not sure if I've used one in a loop, I have a loop in a QVS but not a sub from a QVS in a loop
