Includes

The Include() function opens a script file, parses the script in it, and executes the JSL in the specified file.

Include( "$SAMPLE_SCRIPTS/myStartupScript.jsl" );

There is an option to obtain the parsed expression from the file, rather than evaluating the file.

Another named option creates a namespace that the included script runs in. This namespace is an anonymous namespace and it is independent from the parent script’s namespace.

Include( "file.jsl", <<New Context );

See Advanced Scoping and Namespaces for information about using namespaces with your scripts.

Note the following about included files:

•

JMP files aside from JSL cannot be used.

•

Other recognized file types, such as image files, SAS data sets, and Microsoft Excel files cannot be used.

•

Unrecognized file types are treated as a JSL file.

•

Files with the .txt extension are treated as a JSL file. A text file that contains data can be included, however an error will appear since this is not valid JSL.
