Script tabs - How to quickly export them

Anonymous — Tue, 27 May 2014 14:20:38 GMT

Hi,

As mentioned in the forums and the excellent book QlikView 11 for Developers, the use of tabs in script are primordial to structure the code and make it readable.

I would like to know whether there is an easy way to export these, in a similar manner as i.e. we do for tables that have been loaded.

I've tried exporting the script and loading the file as input; and am getting some weird results.

Many thanks,

Antoine

yes open the "edit script" menu,

then on "file" menu click on "open external script file" and save it where you want

it is a qvs file read as a txt file

to get it back in a script use $(include=pathname/filename.qvs)

best regards

chris

Christian, thanks for input.

I'll clarify by giving a simple example.

Suppose that my script is divided into 4 tabs:

Main, LoadDimension1, LoadDimension2, LoadFact

What I do not want

is to reinject the script using an include statement.

What I am looking for

When I export the script, the tabs are identified as ////$tab

I want to have a list of these tabs in a small table called T1.

In other terms, I expect a table that has the following structure on input:

LOAD * INLINE [

Tab,

Main,

LoadDimension1,

LoadDimension2,

LoadFact,

]

;
