Seeing the past in QTP

[Guy Werry]

Richard,

You can also set up another file in the dictionary and use it as an AUDIT file.  This works best if you use the SAME data item names in the 'audit' file.

Here's a code snippet from a QTP program that updates an employee master file (EMPLOYEE-D):

OUTPUT AUDIT-EMP-D ADD  &
       IF ALTEREDRECORD OF EMPLOYEE-D OR NEWRECORD OF EMPLOYEE-D
 ITEM CHANGE-ID       FIN SIGNONUSER
 ITEM CHANGE-DT       FIN SYSDATE
 ITEM CHANGE-TIME     FIN SYSTIME
 ITEM RECORD-STATUS   FIN "C" IF ALTEREDRECORD OF EMPLOYEE-D &
                     ELSE "N" IF NEWRECORD     OF EMPLOYEE-D

This is a bit of work, but if timed correctly will give you what you need.

How about:

temp t-save char*256 
item t-save = tru(t-save) + data-items of filename

How do I retain data from each record so that I can use it when reading
subsequent records? Essentially I want to have a temporary that eventually
contains a string that looks like this:
"data from 1st rec"  "data from 2nd rec"  "data from 3rd rec" ...

I'm an old crusty rusty Powerhoser that's been reincarnated, except for my
memory. I thought I had done this in the past, but I've forgotten many of
the quirks of Phouse.
