Hi Dingo.. thanks for responding.
What I'm trying to do is manage the number of charts that show up each time I
launch a "daily" job.
(using old timey terms like job, and job steps, but I'm sure you'll understand
them)
As I was reading your response and framing out my answer, I see a few things I
could try to check out,
to see what's happening, but I thought I'd go ahead, thank you, and show you
the original script that caused the issues.
For example I start each step as noted below, by making sure the current issue
has a long history,
so I load the Russell 2000 index before running group average ATCs. At the
end of the job (say with 4 job steps)
I end up with 4 "windows" usually without the correct window or layout in view.
If the script line 7 ABD.Open(ticker); causes a new window to open. Would
the complementary method Close() work?
Well I haven't tested it out and I'm going to in a short while.
Best regards,
Joe
/* setup filters */
/* SCAN over symbols in the default watchlist built by step above WL #62*/
AA.ClearFilters();
// load a ticker with a long history
var ABD = AB.Documents;
var ticker = "!RUT";
ABD.Open(ticker); // Point to !RUT - QP3 ticker name
Open_Ticker = AB.ActiveDocument.Name;
// WScript.Echo ("Current Stock = " + Open_Ticker );
/* set apply to and range */
AA.ApplyTo = 2; // use filters 0 all symbols, 1
current symbol, 2 use filter
AA.Filter(0,"watchlist") = 62;
AA.RangeMode = 1; // use n last quotations
AA.RangeN = 512; // for two years
/* run SCAN */
AA.scan();
WScript.Echo("Industry Group Files written to default folder");
/* load formula from external file */
if(AA.LoadFormula("C:\\program
files\\amibroker\\afl\\WeeklyJobs\\SSGROUPAVG.afl"))
{
oWSH.popup("Industry Groups Averages Loaded Successfully",1,"Status",64);
}

Joe,
the script appears to be adding 2 windows and closing 1. So each time you run
it you get one more window...??
The code you're using from 4.83 was just to show you how you could use some
new properties and methods. I doesn't do any management at all. I don't
understand what you are trying to do.

Subject: [amibroker] Windows.Add(), NewWindow.Close()
Hello:
I'd like to be able to manage the number of charts that appear, seemingly
out of nowhere, as a run a multi step script;
so along those lines, I thought I'd explore the attached script that was
introduced with 4.83.
However when I run this I get a large number of DocsQty on the order of 17,
and I can't reason out why this is so high. How are those documents
associated with the default window that I'm using?
And when I add and close a window I don't see the evidence of this. Like
nothing changes.
I'm missing something fundamental here and wondering if someone would help
me?
Thanks in advance
Joe L.
outBuffer = ""; // global output string buffer
function output( string )
{
outBuffer = outBuffer + string + "\n";
}
AB = new ActiveXObject( "Broker.Application");
Docs = AB.Documents;
DocsQty = Docs.Count;
WScript.echo("Num of Docs = "+ DocsQty );
for( i = 0; i < DocsQty; i++ )
{
Doc = Docs( i );
output( "Document " + i + " name : " + Doc.Name );
Windows = Doc.Windows;
WinsQty = Windows.Count;
for( j = 0; j < WinsQty; j++ )
{
Win = Windows( j );
output( " Window " + j + " Selected tab " + Win.SelectedTab );
}
}
WScript.echo( outBuffer );
WScript.echo( "Now will add one window" );
Doc = Docs( 0);
Windows = Doc.Windows;
NewWindow = Windows.Add();
WScript.echo( "Now will add another window" );
NewWindow = Windows.Add();
WScript.echo( "and close it" );
NewWindow.Close();
