Integrating script files or script code into the procedure sequence

You can call a script file or script code at each point of the procedure sequence.

Note: Only actions that would disrupt current running procedures, for example, LoadVersion, are not permitted.

1.  From the Calculate menu, choose Procedure sequence.

The Procedure sequence window opens.

2.  Click the Create button.

The Procedure window opens.

3.  Select Miscellaneous > Run script.

Note: You will find scripts integrated as add-ins in Visum in the AddIn folder (Embedding add-ins automatically via a project directory).

4.  Confirm with OK.

The Run script procedure is inserted into the procedure sequence.

Integrate script file

The script file is read from file and displayed in the Variant/file column (Setting the procedure sequence).
