What is the difference between Action and Function.? when
both has the same functionaltiy, when do we choose Action
and when do we choose Function..??

Answer Posted / nath t

Major Differences:

Functions: Function returns only one value. it doesn't has
Object repository.

Actions: Actions has Object repository. It returns more
than one value (i.e Output parameters). We can declare
more than one Output parameter.

we can call Function in any Actions in QTP test. But Action
is not like that we have to mention that as reusable action
in Action Properties.

we can store Functions in .VBS file. but Action we cann't
store like this way.

Is This Answer Correct ?    1 Yes 4 No

I need Major Help with a Script I recorded in QTP 9.5. I am recording scripts for a Web-based application(s) I have all the URLs for each application in Excel spreadhsheet so that QTP can pull that particular application from the spreadsheet and run it. The problem is QTP isn't recognizing one particular URL so when I hit run in QTP to run this script it opens the internet Explorer but isn't open the URL I have in the Excel spreadsheet. I've retyped the URL and still QTP won't open this Particular one for some reason. The site its self is working fine but for whatever reason QTP won't open it. How do I resolve this? I have a deadline of next Friday the 7th to complete this task so please help me in any way you can. Thanks in advance

How do you script a nested loop in QTP? I am showing a snipet of my code. Any suggestions to help me get this to work would be great appreciated! STEP A - Customer Number: No loop - ISBN: Loop STEP B - Customer Number: Loop - ISBN: Nested Loop Here is the code I am using now. I am using i for the loop and j for the nested loop in STEP B of my script. =========================================== 'CREATE AN ADDITIONAL CUSTOMER Dim myNum, RowNum, RowCnt2, val2, total, i DataTable.ImportSheet "C:\QOE Data - UAT1.xls" ,"Data" ,"Global" RowCnt2 = DataTable.GetRowCount i = 1 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) ' Set row to one Do while Not i > RowCnt2 i=i+1 DataTable.SetNextRow MsgBox Datatable.Value("Customer_Num") Msgbox i Msgbox RowCnt2 If Not i > RowCnt2 then val2=datatable.Value("Customer_Num","Global") OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").SelectMenu "File->New" OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Order Information").OracleTextField("Customer Number").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Order Information").OracleTextField("Customer Number").Enter val2 End If 'CREATE SECOND ISBN LIST DataTable.ImportSheet "C:\QOE Data - UAT1.xls" ,"Data" ,"Global" Dim j, RowCnt3, val3 RowCnt3 = DataTable.GetRowCount For j = 1 To RowCnt3 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) ' datatable.getSheet("DataTable").setNextRow If Trim(DataTable("ISBN",dtGlobalSheet)) = "" Then j = j - 1 Exit For End If Next 'Define ISBN rows If RowCnt3 <> j Then RowCnt3 = j End If 'Loop through ISBN rows For j = 1 To RowCnt3 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) val3 = Datatable.Value("ISBN","Global") msgbox j If j = 1 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item").Enter val3 else If j < 16 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_"&i).SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_"&i).Enter val3 else If RowCnt1 => 16 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").InvokeSoftkey "DOWN" OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").Enter val3 end if end if End If Next 'EXIT APP msgbox i loop Browser("Browser").Page("Oracle Applications 11i").Sync Browser("Browser").Close ========================================== It isn't working correctly in my nested loop in STEP B (for ISBN). Any ideas?? Thanks! SBsteve
