Can I Import .rtn Files from VS Code?

Evan Gabhart · Feb 21, 2024

I am very pleased with the added XML import/export feature in VS Code, this is something I found valuable in Studio. Similarly, I would find it very useful to allow import/export of .rtn files from VS Code. Is this currently possible (other than using SMP)? If not, are there plans for adding this? I frequently work with exported routines in .rtn format that I import into multiple instances.

No, you can't import .rtn files and we have no plans to add that. Other than the SMP, you can use the VS Code integrated terminal to open an IRS terminal, or the WebSocket Terminal to import the .rtn files. I would recommend using a different format for your exports though, like XML or UDL.

I do suppose $System.OBJ.Load and LoadDir from a terminal in VS Code is the next best thing until my work involves UDL exported routines. Thank you for the quick response!
