Script file on command line ?

sdk development
1

I am attempting to use the ApplicationValue() function in a cell formula to obtain a value from a text file specified by a command line parameter as described by the ApplicationValue() function on-line help.

My script file has one variable definition as follows: set BU = “SMMO”

In a report, I am using a cell formula as follows: =ApplicationValue(“BU”)

The cell value remains empty. Can someone see what I am doing wrong?

TIA,

Make sure you are declaring this a string

Sub Main()
Dim BU as String

BU = “SMMO”

End Sub

In report:
=ApplicationValue(“BU”)

I use this feature a lot using dates, and it seems to work fine. I don’t use the “set” command in the script, rather just give it the value.
