Copy the example code to the dot from documentation (also below) for SubScriptOptions:SelectMemory(String, ScriptMemory) and then run it raises Script Execution Failure.

How to get this method to work please? Observed in DataMiner 10.1

Script Failure (myParentScript): (Code: 0x80131500) Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Exceptions.DataMinerException: Run Subscript 'myParentScript' Failed: 0x80004005

Class SubScriptOptions | DataMiner Docs

Class SubScriptOptions
SelectMemory(String, ScriptMemory)

Selects a script memory from the main script to be used as the script memory in the subscript.

Examples
Main script:

<code class="hljs stata"><span class="hljs-keyword">var</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">memory</span> = engine.GetMemory(<span class="hljs-string">"parentMemory"</span>);	<span class="hljs-comment">// The parent script has a script memory with name "parentMemory".</span>
<span class="hljs-keyword">memory</span>.<span class="hljs-keyword">Set</span>(1, <span class="hljs-string">"MyValue"</span>);	<span class="hljs-comment">// The first entry of this memory is set to the value "MyValue".</span></code>

var subscript = engine.PrepareSubScript("MySubscript");

<code class="hljs stata">
</code>

<span class="hljs-selector-tag">subscript</span><span class="hljs-selector-class">.SelectMemory</span>(<span class="hljs-string">"subscriptMemory"</span>, memory); <span class="hljs-comment">// The subscript has a script memory with name "subscriptMemory" and this memory will be linked to the parent memory.</span>
<span class="hljs-selector-tag">subscript</span><span class="hljs-selector-class">.StartScript</span>();

Sub-script:

<code class="hljs stata"><span class="hljs-keyword">var</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">memory</span> = engine.GetMemory(<span class="hljs-string">"subscriptMemory"</span>);
engine.GenerateInformation(Convert.<span class="hljs-keyword">ToString</span>(<span class="hljs-keyword">memory</span>.<span class="hljs-built_in">Get</span>(1))); <span class="hljs-comment">// This will generate an information event with value: "MyValue".</span></code>

Hi, That 'SubScriptOptions.SelectMemory(String, ScriptMemory)' method is unfortunately only compatible with persistent memory files. The underlying logic just calls the 'SubScriptOptions.SelectMemory(String, String)' method where the 'LinkedFile' property of the given 'ScriptMemory' is used for the second argument.  I have updated the documentation to reflect this.
