I quoted a working example in the initial post:

   $.import("anton_test/util.xsjslib","util"); // import module
   $.anton_test.util.log("Log from library."); // invoke a function

Futhermore, a couple of posts above I provided a working
example of a library and its usage:

>    // file util.xsjslib:
>    function log(msg)
>    {  $.trace.debug(msg);  };

You can also see the official documentation:

   Using Server-Side JavaScript Libraries:
   https://help.sap.com/viewer/d89d4595fae647eabc14002c0340a999/1.0.12/en-US/8a9cdd1242654ccd86ba113630e77830.html

As I understand from all of the above, it is a side effect.

Do you mean CommonJS modules (require) or ECAMScript modules
(import)? I think they both accept the name of the module
being imported.
