"Error in script line: endsub" - no idea - help plz

[datanibbler]

Hi,

I have worked with subroutines a few times, but not often. Usually I had to pass only one parameter to the subroutine. This is the first intance where I have to pass two:

- A full path (with a lot of \ - I enclose that in square brackets to be sure)

- An ending.

Everything is in place. I use a command like that

>> sub Dateicheck ($(v_checkfolder), $(v_ending)) <<

>> endsub; <<

>> CALL Dateicheck ($(v_folder_to_check), $(v_ending_to_check)); <<

But I keep getting an error_message "error in script line: endsub". I have already tried some variations on this, but I guess the error lies elsewhere. Maybe in the opening sub statement? (I tried without the $() before because it's without in my other subroutines, too, but that didn't work)

Can someone help me here? I am Flasche leer;

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Hi DataNibbler,

try this:

sub Dateicheck (p1, p2)

// do something

end sub

CALL Dateicheck ($(v_folder_to_check), $(v_ending_to_check))

Hi Marcus,

so what exactly is it you are proposing? Just replace the parameter_names? And using > end sub < without a semicolon?

I'll try.

P.S.: Nope - that makes no difference. I still get the message "error in script line: end sub"

I guess the real error must lie somewhere else. There is simply no space for errors among those two little words ...

Hi DataNibbler,

yes this was meant and if the variables contained strings they will need additional single-quotes: '$(var)'

Hi Marcus,

quotes - in the CALL_statement or in the opening > sub <?

[marcus_sommer]

This was meant within the call-statement.

[datanibbler]

Okay -

now I have

- >> sub Dateicheck($(p1), $(p2)) <<

- >> end sub <<

- >> CALL Dateicheck ('$(v_folder_to_check)', '$(v_ending_to_check)'); <<

... now I am again getting the message "error in script line: end sub"

How looks the content from the variables?

[datanibbler]

Hi,

one of the variables is a full file_path like

>> \\blabla\suffsuff\QlikView\99_ReportToMail\02_Output <<

The other is a file_ending (to identify the ending of the files which should be created by RtM), e.g. pdf or xls

[marcus_sommer]

Then it should work with:

let var = '\\blabla\suffsuff\QlikView\99_ReportToMail\02_Output';

then '$(var)' meant now the same syntax as if you had put the string directly in the call-statement. But your sub contained a $(p1) and $(p2) - use here only p1 and p2. Most often a sub looks in my case so:

sub Dateicheck (v_folder_to_check, v_ending_to_check)

// do something

end sub

CALL Dateicheck (p1, p2)
