hi,

you can define a specific path followed by Directory and all your files will be saved to that path.

Example:

Directory c:\Programfile\data;

The directory defined through this statement is used by subsequent Load statements, until a new directory statement is made.

A directory statement is generated automatically if Relative Paths is enabled in the Edit Script dialog.

directory is useful for a load or a store (from file system)

but you don't have any load or store (only an inline load)

Hi Sandip,

Just FYI.

From Qlikview Help:

Directory

The Load statement can be preceded by a directory statement, defining what directory to look for the files in.

directory path

where:

path is a text that can be interpreted as the path to the file, either absolute, or relative to the .qvw file.

Example:

Directory c:\userfiles\data;

The directory defined through this statement is used by subsequent Load statements, until a new directory statement is made.

A directory statement is generated automatically if Relative Paths is enabled in the Edit Script dialog.

Regards,

V.
