Dear Maheshgoud,

include vs must_include:

The include and must_include variables specify a file that contains text that should be included in the script.

The entire script can thus be put in a file. This is a a user-defined variable.

The difference between include and must_include is that include will fail silently if the file is not found during

script reload, while must_include will throw an error if the file is not found.

Examples:

$(Include=abc.txt);

$(Must_Include=def.txt);

Kind regards,

Hi,

The Include function can be used for pieces of code that you might want to use in for than one QVW. Being the include doesn't show the code, it can also be used to put script in that you don't want anyone to see, like an ODBC string.
