Hi John & Georg,
Thank you so much the command SCRIPT in sps is great. It runs very well.
Sorry I have one more question, if there is a way to set execution timing to
such a script? It will be programed to only run on a certain date.
Big thanks!
Robert

Hi John,
Thank you so much! your script is great it!. I wonder if there is any syntax
(**.sps) that can call a script to run without going to Utilities and click
"run script..."
Big appreciation,
Robert
