Is there a way to support this in Load script, or can someone with access submit an ideation about it?
In my load script I have found this setup to work really well
TableName:
Load
Input1 as new1
, Input2 as new2
, Input3 as new3
, Input4 as new4
, Input5 //Used directly
, Input6
, Input7 as new7
, Input8 as new8
, Input9 as new9
, Sometimes_a_quite_long_input as new10
, Input11 as new11
Resident Table;
For further usage of the fields in the new table I can hold Alt and easily select the column of new (or reused) names.
However, due to input or formulas sometimes requiring more space I often spend some time adjusting the columns. Also making changes in formulas can also easily affect the column.
Therefore my question is: Wouldn't it be nice if it was easy to sort the input part from the output part in general? By some general setting of column width, or with tab positions like what's possible in word documents?
At least I know this would make it easier for me to do "house cleaning" when I work on complicated load scripts. It may not make a big difference in particular cases, but for me at least it will make life a little better quite often.
AFAIK there is no native customizing within Qlik to generate a script in this format. I could imagine that some advanced IDE's provide similar features - not mandatory with the Qlik language ... If It would be sensible to extend them and/or using them as intermediate copy/paste approach ... ?
