Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a new folder structure through the API and I am getting an error straight away, script running is:
---------------------------------------
LEAP.ActiveArea = "Freedonia"
LEAP.ActiveScenario = "Reference"
PRINT LEAP.ActiveArea.Name
PRINT LEAP.ActiveScenario.Name
LEAP.Activeview = "Analysis"
LEAP.ActiveYear = 2010
AddCategory ("test", 1, "million", "household")
----------------------------------------
Error message received is as follows:

Error in script: Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub
Language: VBScript
Line/Column 13/47

Hopefully this is just a simple error message relating to a syntax error.

Regards
Tom��s

Thanks for this, Tomas - very sorry it's taken me a while to respond (I know you had emailed as well).

Try the following:

---------------------------------------
LEAP.ActiveArea = "Freedonia"
LEAP.ActiveScenario = "Reference"
PRINT LEAP.ActiveArea.Name
PRINT LEAP.ActiveScenario.Name
LEAP.Activeview = "Analysis"
LEAP.ActiveYear = 2010
set temp = AddCategory("test", 1, "million", "household")
----------------------------------------

I know this is mysterious, and it's not mentioned in the documentation. Some of the branch manipulation methods in the API return a value and therefore require assignment. In this example, 'temp' is a LEAP Branch object. You may not need to perform any further operations with 'temp', but it's assignment is required in order to add the category.

Best,
Taylor

Hi Taylor,

This is great thank you for taking the time to write back. I have made some progress with the scripting since I posted the query but I am sure I will need to revert to the message boards again soon for further help.

Thanks again,
Tomas Maguire
