Automatic load user-defined calculator functions

Dear jorgevdelacruzNm

but I would like to know if there is a way to automatic define it in the "Skill User Defined Functions" (Function Panel) by using .cdsinit or .cdsenv.

The following On-line support document details how to automatically add a custom SKILL function by placing a load statement in one's active .csdinit and then registering it as a Calculator special function.

Does this help?

Hi Shawn, Jorge,

The method that Shawn pointed to is the old (now obsolete) method of doing this (I've asked for the article to be retired). Whilst it still works, a far better way is to use the "fx" button in the calculator function panel or Explorer/Assembler expression builder. This allows you to build a form that appears just like all the others in the calculator (if a form is needed) and takes care of automatic loading of the code too without needing to add anything into the .cdsinit.

Regards,

Andrew.

Dear Andrew,

As usual, I thank you for your added insight and directions!

I actually do use the fx button to add custom functions to the Calculator. I only referenced the prior article as I was not sure if the "fx" procedure registers the custom function for only the current Virttuoso session or for all future Virtuoso sessions. I just checked and, as you correctly stated, it does. Thank you!
