Calling one compiled AutoIt script from another compiled script: Pros and Cons

[mr-es335]

Good day

Is calling one compiled AutoIt script from another compiled script an acceptable practice?

I do understand that, I need to:

1) ...ensure that the first script is properly compiled and free of syntax errors, and...
2) ...to employ RunWait so as to ensure  that the main script waits for it the 2nd script to finish before continuing.

As always...any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone?

Yes...   No...   Maybe....

When you want a serious answer you need to ask a much more detailed question as context is totally missing as to why they are separate programs.

Yes, of course calling from one AutoIt program to another is a common practice. By calling other compiled exe or a3x, you can have multi-thread capabilities. 

There is no need to wait for the task to finish, waiting will only make your program looked frozen. You just need to have a way of letting callee program communicate the result back to the main program. There are a few methods here tells you how to do communications between different autoit programs.
