User defined function in the script?

[#1]

Hi,

is it possible to define a function into the QV script? If yes, a simple sample, please.

Thanks

Here's an example of creating a couple functions in the script using variables. It's also an example of building functions from an inline table, which isn't something you need, but hopefully you can recognize what's what and get the idea.

[Holidays]:
LOAD * INLINE [
Holiday
3/15/2010
3/10/2010
2/15/2010
1/1/2010
];

AllHolidays:
LOAD concat(num(Holiday),',') as AllHolidays RESIDENT Holidays;
LET customfirstworkdate = 'firstworkdate($1,$2,' & peek('AllHolidays') & ')';
LET customnetworkdays = 'networkdays($1,$2,' & peek('AllHolidays') & ')';
DROP TABLE AllHolidays;

Edit: A couple simpler examples from a sample currency conversion script:

LET money = 'money($1,only(CurrencyFormat),only(Decimal),only(Thousand))';
LET date = 'date($1,only(DateFormat))';
