Global Temps in QTP

[Fyfield, Derek]

Hi Harvey,

To counter the case where no records are found and the Global Temp is not
set to your value, you could give it an initial value before the first
request.  

RUN FRED
GLOBAL TEMPORARY g_start_date char*8  &
         initial GETSYSTEMVAL("START_DATE",symbol)

REQUEST ONE
Access ....

Cheers,

Derek.

Paul,

That is exactly the situation. Thank you very much! It is a defect, but
maybe not a problem in production.

Cheers ... Harvey

Hi Christina
At least one record has to be selected , in order to have your global temp
initialized in request ONE
Probably in test envirnment, you have no records selected in request ONE.
