Load scritpts function NoOfRow with variable as tablename

I'm trying to show the number of rows in a load script.  It works when I wirte directly the name of the table in the function noOfRows, but is does not if I use a variable (for every other purpose the variable works).

Here a sample

SET TABLE_NAME_03 = Monthly_Sales;

$(TABLE_NAME_03):
LOAD
*
 

FROM
$(TABLE_NAME_03)_2016.qvd
(
qvd)

let Rows_in_structure = NoOfRows($(TABLE_NAME_03)); => This line returns always NULL
let Rows_in_structure = NoOfRows('Monthly_Sales'); => This line returns the correct number of rows.

Does anybody knows how to use variable with the function NoOfRows?

Thank for your help

Try this two ways for this

1. let Rows_in_structure = NoOfRows(TABLE_NAME_03);  //Without bracket and comma

2. let Rows_in_structure = NoOfRows('$(TABLE_NAME_03)'); //With comma

May be try single quotes around your variable:

LET Rows_in_structure = NoOfRows('$(TABLE_NAME_03)');

Hi, both versions (with comma) and (without comma and brakets) works.
