Use of different script editors in a QVW file.

[sujit_nath]

Just wondering,

What's the use of different script editors in same qvw? Why can't we do it under the same script editor?

Could someone specify the cons of doing it under single tab? Also advantage of doing this under different tabs.

Thanks!!

Hi, you can use external editors.

Try "Sublime Text" https://github.com/inqlik/inqlik-tools

then in qlik scripts you can attach files to load script like this :

SET vScriptFolder = '..\10_Scripts\';

LET vInclude = '$(vScriptFolder)' & mid(DocumentName(),1, len(DocumentName())-4) & '.qvs';

LET vScriptFolder = ;

$(Must_Include='..\10_Scripts\_global_header.qvs');

$(Must_Include='..\10_Scripts\_global_vars.qvs');

$(Must_Include=$(vInclude));

$(Must_Include='..\10_Scripts\_global_footer.qvs');

LET vInclude =;

LET vScriptFolder =;

I put this text in all my qvw files, and do scripting in external editor

Yep, I do use this approach always. Maybe this was kindaa stupid question I'll close this thread.

It's basically related to documentation and ease of script management. Coding a long script with possible multiple logical sections under the same tab, would be like a book of many short stories without index page and no other indicator in between. You would find it very difficult to manage the script, difficult to search a certain section of code. So it's always wise to compartmentalize your script into multiple logical/functional tabs.
