Hi,
I am using Powerhouse 7.10.G1 and I am having a problem with global temps
being set in one request, but the values in the temps being dropped for the
request immediately following:
i.e
$ START_DATE :== "20010101"
$QTP
run runname
global temp g_start_date char*8
request ONE
access *xyz
item g_start_date = GETSYSTEMVAL("START_DATE",symbol)
select if starting_date of xyz > g_start_date
request TWO
access *abc
select if starting_date of abc > g_start_date
The first select in Request one works but the second one does not. The
mystery is that this code has been working in Production for years, but
fails in the test environment.
I can fix the problem as follows in the test environment, but why does it
work in prod?
global temp g_start_date char*8 initial GETSYSTEMVAL("START_DATE",symbol)
Has anyone else had a problem like this?
Thanks in advance... Harvey
