If you open my sample application then hit CTRL-M you will go to the Macro Scripts page, here you'll see the GroupMembers function which should be copied into your application. Actually I noticed that I included only a QVS file, so I've included the function code here so you can copy/paste it into your own app:
REM *************************************************
REM Get members of an Active Directory Group.
REM Returns a string of distinguishedNames seperated by ";".
REM Parameter is the distinguishedName of a Group.
REM This function requires System Access!
REM *************************************************
Function GroupMembers(DN)
Set objItem = GetObject("LDAP://" & DN)
strmember = objItem.GetEx("member")
ret = ""
For Each Item in strmember
ret = ret & Item & ";"
Next
GroupMembers = Left(ret, Len(ret)-1) ' Drop trailing semicolon
End Function
You don't need to use QVS files at all, you can simply copy the text from my QVS.TXT file and then paste this into your load script, but if you want to use it as a QVS then you should add something like the following to your load script:
$(Include = \QLIKVIEW\QVS\LDAPDataLoad.QVS)
If you use QVS files then yes, the only way to edit those is with an external editor, the only reason I know of to make use of QVS files is if you have aspects of load scripts that are duplicated across many QVW files, then they can be managed in a central location.
