Jon_Dolinar Jon_Dolinar Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-04-01 Posts: 5 Loc: Ohio	Seems now with version 4.67 (Which I just found) I can no longer do a Call \\server\path\script.kix it returns an error Function expected. Is this by design or a bug? If I go back to the old version all works.

The Call command seems to call the the second script fine with both. I was not able to reproduce the error you are getting. Are you certain the error is not being generated by the Called script, as the call will get an error returned from the second script. Call.kix Code: Call "\\server\share\userdata$\user\call2.kix" ? @Error ? @SError get $ Call2.kix Code: $nul = messagebox(@Kix + @CRLF + @ScriptDir, "test", 0) Exit 0

Jon_Dolinar Jon_Dolinar Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-04-01 Posts: 5 Loc: Ohio	I have a script test.kix which has the following call test2.kix call \\server1\netlogon\test3.kix the call to test2.kix which lives in the same local directory as test.kix runs I then get an error ERROR: expected FUNCTION name! Script: \\server1\netlogon\test3.kix running the same script with a previous version works Edited by Jon_Dolinar (2017-03-14 07:44 PM)

Jon_Dolinar Jon_Dolinar Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-04-01 Posts: 5 Loc: Ohio	So interesting I seem to get the error only when the server name has a numeric character another test of \\server\dir\subdir\test2.kix works? I also changed my hostfile to have server1 resolve as an alias of servera putting servera in the script works. Edited by Jon_Dolinar (2017-03-14 08:05 PM)

ShaneEP ShaneEP MM club member Registered: 2002-11-29 Posts: 2125 Loc: Tulsa, OK	Is it a quotes issue? have you tried wrapping the scripts you're calling in quotes? Code: call "test2.kix" call "\\server1\netlogon\test3.kix" Or putting the full path to both scripts? Code: call @ScriptDir+"\test2.kix" call "\\server1\netlogon\test3.kix" Edited by ShaneEP (2017-03-15 03:20 PM)

Jon_Dolinar Jon_Dolinar Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-04-01 Posts: 5 Loc: Ohio	If I put quotes around the call with the number it does now work in 4.67 Since the original program was a variable I had to use $var = "\\server1\netlogon\test.kix" $var = chr(34) + $var + chr(34) call $var

ShaneEP ShaneEP MM club member Registered: 2002-11-29 Posts: 2125 Loc: Tulsa, OK	Changed my call.kix to the below... Code: $file = "\\server\share\call2.kix" Call $file ? @Error ? @SError get $ Left call2.kix as... Code: $nul = messagebox(@Kix + @CRLF + @ScriptDir, "test", 0) Exit 0 And all still works for both 4.66 and 4.67. (And the real server name does have a number in it)

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4396 Loc: New Jersey	Regarding the original question - While Kix is forgiving and may work when things aren't quite right, the name of the file being called is an argument to the Call command. The argument is a text string, and as such, should be enclosed in quotes. The problem would be exacerbated if the string began with a number. (OK - not likely [possible!!] with a UNC path, but think about assigning a simple file named "40Lines.udf" to the call command.. what do you think Call would search for? I've never not quoted this argument and treat it just like variable assignment, which should place strings in quotes. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
