IDEAScript Questions

Hi Brian

I wish you the vest best for the future. I was just wondering if there is any update in relation to the query (using an array to identify the length of time that products sold had been held in stock using the LIFO method) That I had raised with you back in February.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

I'm back again :-)

I'm running a script and I would like user to be able to enter a case reference which is stored as a string.

Much later in the script this will be used to create an output filename.

The following lines allow me to get the input, tidy it a little, and then pass it to create the filename.

caseref = InputBox("Enter your case reference", "Case Reference", " ", 815,475)

caseref = UCase(LTrim(Left(caseref, 20)))

dbName = pfolder &"\Calculations for" +caseref +".IMD"

All of this works without any problem.

Hi Brian,

I'm hoping you can help with the following please.

I'm building a macro to calculate interest on customs debts. The applicable annual rate is the one on force at the date of import, and currently I am using a very long compif statement to assign the appropriate rate.

Each time there is a rate change, I add the date of change and the rate to the front of the compif statement (e.g. this month the rate changed to 6.25% so I added IMPORT_DATE >= ""20240701"", 0.0625).

Is it possible to use optional parameters in functions?
"optional" is a known command, if you type it in idea script.

I have a custom script I wrote that does a series of DB lookups where I am issuing a search command to a record set to find a value.  It works perfectly.  The only drawback is it may look as if the program is frozen.  Is there a way to build a progress bar into it while it is running.
Thanks,
Randy

Hello, i want to ask on how to code using IDEAScript to transpose data from row to column. here is the scenario :
I got an excel source data and the first row can't be used as field name while each row that has data is divided with blank row one after another. the writing format is like form with first column contains form labels and second is the answer. i put the screenshots of the expected result if i transpose the data below. i also put the test file below.
Is there a way to script this kind of data transpose in IDEA? 
Thank you.

I have smart Analyzer project for Payroll.  I break it up into 8 databases that represent unique population for payroll.  I apply unique setting from a parameter file.  I have to tag 8 database and set the parm file against 8 databases and 7 different tests.
Is there any way to streamline this process.  I do have the tag file saved and the parameter file saved but have to use them as indicated above.
 
Thanks,

Hi,I am using Python together with IDEAScript and when I created IMD files I have the problem that at the end I need to manually click the refresh button in IDEA in order to refresh IDEA and that it displays the IDEA-files.
 
I wondered if there is an IDEAScript function that I could add at the end of my code to automatically refresh? I checked the help section in IDEA, but couldn't find any command.

I currently have the usecase for one script to run for several tabels with different names. I wanted to ask if there is an easy way without having to change a lot in the scipt. For the part of the name which changes, I have already declared a variable.
Thanks in advance!!!
