Is there a 32k limitation on the actual script file? Part of the reason I wanted KIX implimented was to cut down on the total number of scripts we run. At 33.6k the first function in the script gives a script error - if I cut out 2k of script, the script runs, with no change to the meat and potatoes of the script itself.

Any help would be appreciated.

Zzyzxx,

the largest I have ran by now was a 70+k script including 30+ functions(have to refine it someday [Roll Eyes] ) ... so I would suggest to run it against MCA's kixstrip utility

There at least no documented limitation ....

Maybe this will help - I know posting code is a faux paux, I'll keep it short.

code:
function UserOU()
;Used for generating several variables - This is required.
$userou = ""
$sysinfo = createobject("adsysteminfo")
if $sysinfo
$user = getobject("LDAP://"+$sysinfo.username)
if $user
$name=getobject($user.parent).name
if $name
$userou = substr($name,4,len($name))
endif
endif
endif
endfunction

This is the function that craps out when the file is larger than 31k. It is used in the body of the script in several ID sections such as this.

code:
;----------Houston
if INSTR($sysinfo.username, "Houston")<>0 $city="Houston"
gosub "display"
goto "houston"
Endif

That help any? It's the only function I have.

how about having the users run a batch file that:
copies the kix script to the local machine
executes the local copy of the kix script
deletes the local copy

It may take a few seconds longer to copy the file, but execution time may be faster.

Zzyzxx,

cool! another Houston kix user [Big Grin]

what is the error? is the script stopping like a syntax error?

i am not seeing any check to make sure that $sysinfo is a valid COM object. Id $sysinfo was not a valid COM object and you tried making a call to a property, kix will error out.

i do not know if this is your problem or not, but i always do something like this.

code:
if vartype($sysinfo) <> 9 and @error <> 0 
? "error with $$sysinfo COM object @serror" exit(1)
endif

right after getobject() command, this will prevent the script from crashing on a invalid COM object request.

This is a long shot, but what happens if you declare your function vars local to the UDF itself, like this:

code:
function UserOU()
dim $sysinfo
dim $user
dim $name

... the rest

Does that make any difference ?

I already have a batch file which does file checking/version checking.

Basically it checks to see if the file exists locally, if it does it executes kix32 locally. If it doesn't exist, it copies it locally and then runs it locally.

The error states that there's a missing comma in the code - -

if INSTR($sysinfo.username, "Houston")<>0 $city="Houston"

- - even though all you have to do is reduce the size of the file to get it to work. None of the script is actually being changed (other than removing remarks, unused script, etc).
