I want to store JAL script names in an .INI file, use INIFILEGETKEY to retrieve them, and call them based on their variable name. Is there any way to do this? If not, do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.

Sure, you can do it, here is the sample code

IniFileGetKey "c:\\scripts\\file.ini", "Script", "key", file_name
FileCopy file_name, "c:\\temp\\temp_script.jal"

@SCRIPT:"c:\\temp\\temp_script.jal"

However, keep in mind that you loose many advantages of the integrated job database, including, build-in security, encryption, and automatic script deployment when running jobs on other computers. You also have to backup many files rather than a single job database file and in case if you need to reinstall it you have to know and remember all the files and locations and their dependencies, which does not improve/simplify the overall system maintenance.

Do you have any other suggestions on how I could accomplish this? In this particular case, I would prefer not to hard code the script call. Thanks.

But the script call is not hardcoded. The point is that this file is a temporary file which is overwritten every time your job runs. Consider it as a work file.
