Putting a pause in Quick

[Whittall, Conrad]

You could try adding an INFORMATION...NOW RESPONSE to an appropriate
point in your QUICK screen's UPDATE procedure (generated from the
default with a BUILD LIST DETAIL if you haven't already coded your
own...and who would???).
 
Run the screen, enter a new record (or find an existing one and change
it) then enter an update command (U, US, whatever). This will cause
QUICK to start executing the UPDATE procedure (lock files, put records,
etc.) but stop when it reaches the INFO verb, display the message you
specified and prompt you to press <Return> to continue. At this point
your files are locked and if you now run your QTP thats what it should
see.
 
And, as I see others have suggested, you could probably accomplish
similar results by compiling your screen with debug and running QUICK in
debug mode, then setting a breakpoint on the UPDATE procedure. When you
run the screen and QUICK reaches the UPDATE procedure you can then step
through the verbs in the UPDATE procedure and simply leave it "paused"
at the most appropriate point while you then run your QTP.

Hi,

 

I am trying to test the locking of a Quick screen. Does anyone know how
I can put a pause in the screen to lock it for long enough for my qtp
process to find it is locked? I have tried doing multiple FOR loops with
the inner loop actually updating a file, but it still runs too fast. 

 

Mary.
