Answer / pk

First you have to declare the Input/Output Parameters in the
Action Properties (Right click action icon and select). Then
you can access these parameters through the Parameter object.

Say you have declared two Input parameters
a (as number, value= 25) and
b ( as number, value = 30)

Then you can access these Action input parameter with in the
action using

c = parameter("a")+parameter("b")
msgbox c (should display 55)

Answer / deepakm82

Hi Rayudu,

i will take the example that you have taken.
C = a + b
Now you want a and b to be parameterized.
So for that you have to pass the value of a and b using the
datatable in QTP.
Select 2 columns in datatable and name them Value_1 and
Value_2.You can choose either Global datatable or action
datatable.Suppose you choose Global datatable.
Now put a value say 3 under column Value_1 and put another
value say 5 under column Value_2.
Now this is how you gonna write it:

c= Datatable.value("Value_1",dtglobalsheet) +
Datatable.value("Value_2",dtglobalsheet)

Now is this solve your problem? or if you have any further
queries then just reply...

Answer / rayudu

Thanks for your reply Deepak! But my question is not that.
By using Action Parameters.EX: I would like to enter the
values in Parameter tab of the Action properties.



Name type Defaultvalue description
A Number 25 First value
B Number 30 Second value

My question is How should validate these values in a script
c=int(a)+int(b)
I am calling this action in another action like
RunAction Action1,Oneiteration
But it did not resulted 55.
I know how to pass parameters through datatable.
