I don't see that in the QTP manual anywhere. I always wish it did allow Cobol subroutines(in an XL) calls like QUICK allows. I have done many (hundreds) Cobol subroutine call from Quick in past years.
Let me know if you find an answer that allows QTP to call external programs/subroutines.

Pandurang,
What version and platform are you working on????
I've never called Cobol directly from Qtp, but I have done the sort of
thing where I do processing in Qtp to create a subfile (on Unix, where
the data and definitions are in separate files), then have a Cobol
program read the data portion of the subfile, do more processing and
write the results into another file. I then take that file that's
output from the Cobol and create a subfile definition for it in Qtp,
then rename the Cobol output file to be the subfile.
Like this:
qtp
> access .....
bunch of qtp processing
> subfile S1 keep include ....
>go
>exit
This gives me the files:
*
S1.sf (the data portion)
*
S1.sfd (the definition)
Cobol program that reads S1.sf and does a bunch of really weird
procesing, with output file S2.
This gives me the file:
*
S2
qtp
> access ....
> set input limit 1
> set process limit 1
> use temporary data items / file items to get the data items that I
require to match the data in S2 from above
> subfile S2 keep include ... (this MUST match the Cobol program's
definition of S2 EXACTLY)
> go
> exit
This gives me the files:
* S2.sf, the data portion of the subfile, which is EMPTY (0
records)
* S2.sfd, the definition portion of the subfile
Then, I simply rename S2 (output from Cobol file) as S2.sf
I now have a permanent subfile named S2 that I can read in Powerhouse.
Hope that helps,
