QTP in batch file (job ?) in Windows ?

[Michel Adam]

Hi listers,

trying to run a batch file and have QTP prompt for a few parameters (after
RTFM the QTP manual, page 137).

QTP will just stop cold and prompt without reading the parameters. What am
I missing?


The bat file is:


c:
cd \foambin
rem QTP auto=C:\FOAMbin\XFSPR20D < %PHTEMP%\FFSPARAM.dat
QTP
execute C:\FOAMbin\XFSPR20D
02
@
@
@

execute C:\FOAMbin\XFSPR20Z
exit
QUIZ auto=C:\FOAMbin\XFSZR20Z



The 'rem' statement is from a prior attempt, which works, of having QTP
execute the run and get the values for the prompts from a file
(FFSPARAM.dat).


when testing, the results are:

and that is it. QTP just stops there and waits for input.

Is page 137 of the QPT reference manual accurate?
