RunByName task name[, argument list]
Guaranteed entry
- Task name
- Designate a task name by String Type data. Refer to "How to Designate a Task Name."
- Argument list
- A task which needs to have argument should be designated by Variant Type.
However, an argument with ByRef cannot be started up.
Description
At the time of program execution, evaluate a formula designated as a task name and create the task name dynamically to Run. This is useful to Run sequential named tasks at a time.
Except format, other behaviors are the same as Run.
Related Terms

Attention
- Refer to Run.
- If a specified task is not found, "81500029: Failed to find a file." is displayed.
Example
In the following example, start up 9 (Pro2 to Pro10) tasks which have same argument. There are three arguments between Pro2 and Pro10, so the element defines 3 arrays in RunByName.
