Syntax error on reload with cmd.exe

Velvet_Crowe — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 18:28:09 GMT

Hallo,

I work with QlikView 11.20 SR17 for a year now. Today I installed version 12.50 IR. Everything works fine except one thing. To reload a document in a AutoHotKey script I use the command "c:\Program Files\QlikView\QV.exe" "<Path to my file>" /r. When I reload the document with the desktop client everything works fine. But a reload with command line fails.

Unexpected token: '(', expected one of: ...

LET vLogTime = Timestamp(Today() + GetMacroTime>>>>>>(<<<<<<), 'DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss.fff')

Or see attachment.

The syntax error occures at GetMacroTime() which is a VB function to return the system time with milliseconds. If you need more information please ask!

Kind regards

Hello,

I had some similar issues and odd behavior with macros so I disabled BNF.

Please read the following as it might help you:

Yes i saw the post but this solution does not work any longer. Quote: "PLEASE NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS WILL NOT WORK IN 12.30 (November 2018) OR HIGHER, SINCE THE ENGINE IS NOW BNF-ONLY. SCRIPTS WILL HAVE TO BE MODIFIED TO MATCH THE BACKUS-NAUR FORMALISM.".

I already found similar questions to mine like Problems calling functions from load script QV 12 . But EnableBnfReload=0 in Settings.ini nor ///$bnf off have an effect any longer.

As workaround I removed the vb function call from the load script. It's strange that GUI works without any problems but on command line QlikView throws an error.

If there is not other solution than downgrade to a version below 12.30 until next week I will mark your answer as solution.
