May be FilePath(), like:

FilePath() Returns a string containing the full path to the table file currently being read.

Example:

Load *, filepath( ) as X from

C:\UserFiles\abc.txt

Will return 'C:\UserFiles\abc.txt' in field X in each record read.

Hi,

You can retrieve the QVD path by using FilePath() in load script

LOAD

*,

FilePath() as Path

FROM DataSource.qvd (qvd);

Regards,.
