How do write code in JSL to call another JSL?

lwx228 — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 10:15:53 GMT

Hello everyone!
In AAA.jsl, how do write code that calls another JSL to continue running: for example, this another JSL is BBB.jsl with the same path

When BBB. jsl finished, AAA. JSL continues to run the rest of the code.

thanks you!

Use the

Include();

function.

I strongly advise that you spend time and read the Scripting Guide

This seems to work,

where bbb. JSL only performs 2 files at a time, and moves the resulting file to another path in a timely manner, with code to clear the variable:
Include("d:\BBB.jsl");Wait(0);
Include("d:\BBB.jsl");Wait(0);
Include("d:\BBB.jsl");Wait(0);
Include("d:\BBB.jsl");Wait(0);
Include("d:\BBB.jsl");Wait(0);
……

Clear Log(); Clear Globals(); Close All(DataTables,"No Save");

This reduces the number of automatic exits.

Please consult experts:

What else should you pay attention to in JSL, such as freeing memory and erasing variables?Thank you!

Except the following:Clear Log(); Clear Globals(); Close All(DataTables,"No Save");

Clear symbols();

Jim provided the correct answer, but this blog took another turn.

I recommend that you investigate scoping, specifically Names Default to Here() and New Context when working with Include();

Without proper scoping, clear symbols() could lead to unwarranted behavior.

You likely do not need this, but as an FYI, Run Program() can be used to create a new instance of JMP and execute a script or commands, then return to your session. There is no sharing of data or variables.

Well, Thanks for the way. I'll write them to BBB.jsl.
