Script file as a variable value

Fri, 18 Mar 2016 00:21:16 GMT

Hello,

I am new to qlikview scripting, and I am going through an already built QVW to understand all the components and scripts. In one of the script files I see a statement 'Let vProperty = load_property.qvs'

I understand the difference between Let and Set, but I am struggling to understand what happens when you 'Let' a variable value, a script file? I've never seen anything similar in other scripting files before.

Thank You,

Let will evaluate the expression on the right side of the =. Set simply makes the string on the right side of the = character the value of the variable.

SET vX =3+2; // vX contains the string '3+2'

LET vX =3+2; // vX contains the value 5
