Call script from script?

Is it possible to call a script from within another script?
Here's the catch: I'm using CS2 so I can't use $.evalFile (Script1) as it's not a recognised function.
Cheers

This is an Xbytor snippet ...
var SCRIPTS_FOLDER = decodeURI(app.path + '/' + localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts"));
eval('//@include "' +SCRIPTS_FOLDER+ "/Add Texture.jsx" +'";\r');

Calling java from scripting

Hello,
I would like to integrate some scripting capability in my web application.
The main purpose is to cover the following scenario :
- I develop a web app with JSP technology, packaged in a MyAPP.WAR file containing my application and another file (MyCustomer.RAR?) containing installation specific informations. I want the MyApp.WAR to be the same for all my customers, just having the RAR file specific to each customer (installation).
- In this ressource file, there could be some scripting functions that will be called from my JSP Pages to change the default presentation with some customer particular informations.
Those informations would be extracted from my java data model. The purpose is to enable the customer to code some little script, and to avoid coding those in Java.
The question I have on that are :
1/ is it possible to call java instances from scripting language (I read on apache that the answer was yes for some of them), but I would like to know if javascript can do that.
2/ Can I recover the "result" of the script in JSP ?
An example :
1/ The class containing a marvellous property
class MyClass {
public String myProperty;
2/ The JSP page :
<stlLib:callScript(Customer.RAR, "ScriptToCall",anInstance) />
<stlLib:getResult ???>
3/ A user script (pseudo-code)
Customer 1 :
Function ScriptToCall(object) {
variable iwanttoshowsquareroot;
iwanttoshowsquareroot = squareroot(object.myProperty);
return iwanttoshowsquareroot ;
Customer 2 :
Function ScriptToCall(object) {
variable mychoiceisdifferent;
mychoiceisdifferent= object.myProperty / 2;
return mychoiceisdifferent;
According to what ScriptToCall looks like the result on page would be different
Thanks in advance for your advises
Olivier.

1) The script will be running in the browser, not the server, yes? So in Netscape you can load Java objects via Javascript, but IE doesn't seem to support this. Although in either, you can call methods on an applet in the page. But you can't call a JS function from the Java code in the JSP page, since that is only executed on the server.
2) Only if the "result" is submitted back to the server.

Error while calling Subroutine from Script

HI Friends,
I am getting a short dump whilecalling a suboutine from Script.
Please suggest if am wrong with below code
/: PERFORM GET_ADDRESS IN PROGRAM ZSUBROUTINES
/: USING &MHND-KUNNR&
/: CHANGING &ADRS-LINE0&
/: CHANGING &ADRS-LINE1&
/: ENDPERFORM
All above fields are available in script window
In the program
FORM get_address TABLES in_tab STRUCTURE itcsy
out_tab stucture itcsy.
ENDFORM.
Thanks

HI,
Your code is correct, in the FORM and ENDFORM in the program, read the INPUT table and get the values and write your logic using these values and send back the values to the SCRIPT using the OUTTABLE. here you need to use the MODIFY statment for the outtable using Sy-TABIX.

Calling events from scripts in UIX

Hi,
I am able to call the ordinary events in the UIX from the script. But I am not able to call the
<ctrl:event .. >
from the script.
Could anyone please tell me how to call them.
Thank you
Velpandian

Velpandian -
Assuming your page contains a form, you can trigger an event on the server from a JavaScript handler by calling submitForm(). The following sample shows how to send an event both by using the ctrl:event attribute as well as from a JavaScript handler:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller"
      xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui"
      xmlns:data="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui"
      xmlns:ctrl="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller">
<content>
<form name="foo" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui">
<contents>
    
    <importScript names="submitForm()"/>
    <stackLayout>
    <contents>
      
      <link text="Send Event" ctrl:event="test"/>
      
      <link text="Send Event from JavaScript"
            onClick="if (confirm('Send event')) submitForm(0, 0, {'event':'test'}); else return false;"
            destination="#"/>
      
      <formParameter name="event"/>
    </contents>
    </stackLayout>
</contents>
</form>
</content>
<handlers>

<event name="test">
    <go name="nextPage"/>
</event>
</handlers>
</page>I couldn't find the documentation for submitForm() online anywhere... Here is a copy of the documentation from our source code:
* Attempts to submits the form, potentially firing validation and notifying
* any Cabo onSubmit handlers registered on the form, returning
* <code>true</code> if the submission actually occurred.
* <p>
* If the <code>doValidate</code> parameter is false, no validation will
* be performed, and the form is guaranteed to be submitted. Otherwise,
* the form will be submitted if both the validation succeeds and any
* registered Cabo onSubmit handlers do not return <code>false</code>.
* <p>
* @param form The form to submit. This can either be the name of the form
*             in the current <code>document</code>, the index of the form
*             in the current <code>document</code> or the form itself.
* @param doValidate boolean value specifying whether validation should
*   occur before the form is submitted. (As per a common Javascript
*   idiom, it is acceptable to pass true/false as well as 0/1). If
*   this parameter is ommitted, it defaults to true.
* @param parameters a single Javascript object that specifies
*   all the additional key-value pairs to submit. There must be
*   pre-existing <input type="hidden"> elements as targets
*   for each of these parameters.
function submitForm(
form,
doValidate,

Call script from script; exit code issues

I have verified in a very simple pair of scripts that I can feed an exit code back to the calling script. My "Parent" test is little more than
powershell.exe -file "$ScriptPath\child.ps1"
Write-Host "$LASTEXITCODE!!!"
and the child script is just
Exit 1
And that Write-host comes back correctly. I have even tried it with two different child scripts, with different rerun codes, being called from Parent back to back. All good.
However, in a more complicated script, where the child script has conditional exits, I am getting 0 all the time. The conditional looks like this
if ($Global:MemberofSet) {
if ($Global:ErrorOccured) {
Write-Host '1'
Exit 1
else {
Write-Host '0'
Exit 0
And even when the 1 echoes, I still get a $LASTEXITCODE of 0.
Is there some known issue here that I am not aware of? Using PS 2.0, FWIW.
Thanks!

Um, no, more that I remmed out
[CmdletBinding()] at the top of each child script and with no other changes everything is working exactly as it should. Not sure why it worked, but I am certainly not imagining it.
For shits and giggles I also added the binding in my little test script set, and that is now broken,
with no other changes. I really hadn't created a good test obviously, but I wasn't expecting binding to matter. Would love to hear an explanation as to why it would
For anyone wanting to see the behavior, these are the three test scripts, and you run the Arch script. With binding enabled DTV will show 1, but return 0. Rem the
bindings and DTV will correctly return 1. I also tested RVT to not be MemberofSet, so -1 is returned, and $LASTEXITCODE shows a wonky number as expected given the bug in 2.0 and negative return codes.
NOTE: In the test the argument in the child scripts is not used, it's just there to avoid the error you otherwise get when binding. In my "live" code the
arguments are mandatory and used.
Arch_2015.ps1
powershell.exe -file "RVT_2015.ps1"
Write-Host "$LASTEXITCODE!"
powershell.exe -file "DTV_2015.ps1"
Write-Host "$LASTEXITCODE!"
DTV_2015.ps1
[CmdletBinding()]
Param ([string]$Mode)
$Global:MemberofSet = $True
$Global:ErrorOccured = $True
if ($Global:MemberofSet) {
if ($Global:ErrorOccured) {
Write-Host 'DTV 1'
Exit 1
else {
Write-Host 'DTV 0'
Exit 0
else {
Write-Host 'RVT -1'
Exit -1
RVT_2015.ps1
[CmdletBinding()]
Param ([string]$Mode)
$Global:MemberofSet = $True
$Global:ErrorOccured = $False
if ($Global:MemberofSet) {

Here you can find some information about Python and LabVIEW:

If you have LabVIEW, you could use LabVIEW steps to call your Phyton Scipts.
Another solution would be, to do, what is decriibed in the thread directly in TestStand:
You can call a dll or .NET assemblies directly from teststand, or use the "Call Executable" TestStep.

Call Photoshop script from Indesign script CS4 JS

Hi, I open Photoshop linked file from InDesign in Photoshop and I need same InDesign script to run Photoshop script on the file. How I can call the Photoshop script from InDesign script.
Thank you very much for your help.
Yulia

Thank you, Kasyan.
800 lines of script is little be intimidating.
What we are trying to achieve is to open jpgs in Photoshop and resave them as tiffs and replace same jpg with corresponding tiff in Indesign as it was placed before.
Is there a way to call Photoshop from Indesign through appleScript.
I have most of the script done for Indesign and I have Photoshop shript ready that saves jpgs as tiffs done. I am only missing the part where I can call this existing Ph. script from Indisign.
We prefer not to use BridgeTalk if possible, because we have a lot of programs open and running in the same time, and would like to avoid to open one more program (BridgeTalk).
Thank you very much for your great help.

How to call a batch script from DI?

Hi All,
I'm new to DI/DS and would like to know is there a way to call a batch sciprt (.bat file) in DI?
What I try to do is,
1.call a batch script to move source files from a file server to the source folder before kicking off the data flow
2. once the data flow is completed, call a batch script to move the processed source files to the achive folder.
In other ETL tool like informatica it can be done via the command task, is there something similar in DI?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
BL

Thanks Suneer.
Just want to clarify, when I create the script task in the work flow, should I put the path of my batch file or the batch script itself in?
e.g., my batch script is movefile.bat under folder C:\Script,
and the command is: move /Y "C:\Input\*.*". "C:\Archive\".
in the script task, should I put
exec('cmd', 'C:\Script\movefile.bat')
or
exec('cmd', 'move /Y "C:\Input\*.*". "C:\Archive\".')
Thanks again for your help
Regards,
BL
