Sv: Transfer of parameters in Axiant reports/qtp-runs

[Ole Hansen]

Problem solved!

Thanks to all who replied.

Mark Fry and others suggested the use of SETSYSTEMVAL/GETSYSTEMVAL and Chris Sharman pointed out that there is indeed expression support for the choose verb.


Example showing transfer of both 'choose parameter' and 'other parameter'

In the Quick program :

procedure designer PRNT
  begin
    if not setsystemval("CHOOSEPARM","1234567890")
     then inform "SETSYSTEMVAL failed." now response
    if not setsystemval("OTHERPARM","Ordered by OH")
     then inform "SETSYSTEMVAL failed." now response
    run command "quiz auto=TestSystemVal"
  end


In the Quiz program :

access sometable
choose keyitem (getsystemval("CHOOSEPARM"))  ; Note outer parentheses
define ordertext char*20 = getsystemval("OTHERPARM")
report .....

This list is truly great!

Mange hilsner / With kind regards

Ole Hansen
