New feature suggestion : allow qdesign/quick to write subfiles

[Joe Boyle]

MessageI think it would be very helpful to allow qdesign/quick to write subfiles, as these currently have to be written via a call to quiz or qtp before a screen can access them.

  I will add this to the list but it won't happen for the next release. I suspect that the internals will not be as simple as they might seem. There are also timing issues and the big one - how to handle data buffers back and forth. The reason I say that is that QTP is not the same as QUICK in terms of event timing.

  While this has been requested before, there are other things higher on the list with less risk and less effort involved.

    The ability to call a compiled object in as similar manner to the call to a stored procedure,

     

    e.g. sql in AXNWIND  call dbo.ORDIDLINEHIGH ( ORDERID OF orders  IN,  t_nextno  out)

    That's what Guy Werry suggested. While that works, it does not get data to and from the COBOL program within a QTP request.

      Why not create sub file from cobol ?

      You can, but there is no connection between the COBOL program and QTP. In other words, you can't pass data back and forth.

        Why can't you do a Shell command  like "! cobol.sh" ?

        You can't call a COBOL subroutine directly from QTP. There is no equivalent of QUICK's DO EXTERNAL. There may be other techniques to run a program as a subprocess but there would be no connection between the COBOL program and QTP.
