<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Anyone
have a good programming model on how to call a QTP program from within QUICK,
but passing to it parameters (temporaries) from the calling QUICK program?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
preferred method I used to get around this, was by using a "special"<b><span
style='font-weight:bold'> PH dictionary record</span></b> that would write text
to a DAT file. I would then rename the DAT file to BAT or COM (in VMS land) to
run the batch script. Effectively the program was building a batch script
on-line and submitting it into the queue to run.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Schema:
TEXTLINE x(255)</span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In
quick I would have a program that would simply</span></font><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'> </span></b><b><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold'>let TEXTLINE =
"do script command"</span></font></b> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>and then I would use the RUN COMMAND
to call the appropriate batch submit command (in UNIX it's "at", in
VMS it's SUBMIT).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Unfortunately,
in my new role, management won't allow me to go this way (we don't have the PH
Architect license !!) so I need to look for alternatives. I was hoping I could
use the run command with some sort of parm passing via the QTP command, but
there is no parms that allow you to pass a value into the called QTP program.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
hope this is not too confusing.</span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
