adding items issue

[Andrew.Stockdale]

Hello Guru's

i am using QTP 10. I have done a test where i add items into a catalogue and check whether it is located within the catalogue once completed but when i run the test again it tries to add the same item again so it fails. Is there a way to add different numbers in a sequence for example: QA00001, QA00002, QA00003 and so on??

Thanks in advance for your help

Cheers

Andy

Andy -
I am not sure if i get what you actually need. It would be of help if you had the code pasted with your post.
However if you are looking for a case of sequentially data generation then maybe this peice of code would help,

Code:

For i = 1 to 10 ' Hoping you need 10 data
         paramname = QA0000&i
Next

or

' you can use random numbers

For i = 1 to 10
   randnum = RandomNumber(1, 100)
    paramname = QA0000&randnum
Next

Again, since i am not very clear with your question this may seem very irrelevant. If yes, please post the code you have been trying.

I'll try to explain another way. I can't put code on here because my company won't allow details of company on here.

I have 100 items that i need to test to make sure they have been added to a catalogue that i designed. The starting reference is QA00001 and obviously it will end QA0000100. If i run the test a 100 times it will work but if i try to re-run it again, it will not work because these items are already included in the catalogue. I can't have duplicate numbers for example QA00003 and QA00003.

I hope this helps
