Enhancement Request: Quiz and QTP

[Deskin, Bob]

There are no changes envisioned in what we are doing. It's business as
usual for ADT.

	So Bob,

	Have you heard from IBM yet regarding Powerhouse Future?

	The AND SELECT in QUIZ should be ANDing the condition to the
SELECT. AND SELECT is in QUIZ to add conditions to those already in use.
It's there because QUIZ started out as an ad hoc report writer. The idea
was that you would add the AND SELECT to refine the search. Of course
you have to re-read everything anyway. I know some that people use it to
split complex conditions but that wasn't the original idea. And because
it's not necessarily in the same position as the SELECT, it can confuse
things, as in a long report with an AND SELECT at the very end.

	 

	All that said, adding this is not necessarily complicated but in
my opinion, it's not a high priority relative to many of the other
things that have been requested. It's a convenience as opposed to
providing new functionality. Am I wrong?

	 

	Bob

		I have to agree with Peter on this.

		I never use it....but if it is something Bob can add in
without much effort, go for it.

		        Hi Robert:
		            
		             I never liked the AND SELECT IF because it
really was an OR. 
		 
		             IF         ( logical expression1 ) & 
		                 OR    ( logical expression2 ) &
		                 OR    ( logical expression3 ) &
		              ... 
		              etc 
		 
		        Regards,
		        Peter

		The addition of 'AND SELECT IF condition' to QTP and
'AND SELECT file IF condition' to both Quiz and QTP would make it easier
to code (and understand) some of the more complex selection statements
that we have to work with.
