Statement that can return an expression to the calling function - prabhu656656 - 08-26-2009

Is there a statement that can return an expression to the calling function or test in QTP like the RETURN function in WinRunner.

You will be able to return an expression from function by assigning to the same function like following example-
Code:
Function ChkReturn()
   ChkReturn = 50
End Function

and an expression can be returned from reusable by using ouput parameter

Hi,
Here is the sample code and let me know if you need any more info.

Code:
'this function will return the value is true or false
msgbox  MyFunction()
Public Function MyFunction ()
   blnFlag = False
  If 1 = 1 Then
      blnFlag = True
  End If
  MyFunction = blnFlag
End Function

My exact question is as we have a 'Return' keyword in WinRunner which are used in fucntions. So is there any QTP equivalent fucntion/keyword for 'Return'.
My objective is to migrate a WR code to QTP code.

For eg:
Code:
public function func1(str var1)
{
auto var1
var1="abc"
if (a=0) then
return var1
else
msgbox "Bad luck"
}

you can use the same code in QTP, Only you need to replace return with func1
here is your QTP code
Code:
public function func1(var1)

var1="abc"
if (a=0) then
func1 = var1
else
msgbox "Bad luck"
end function

It is through Byref,

Code:
Function func1 (Byref var1)
auto var1
var1 = "abc"
End function
this will return the var1 value back as a variable. There is nothing called Return statement in Vbscript unlike Winrunner.

Thanks a lot for solving the above.

Mentioned below are few others for which I need help from your guys..

Could any one suggest the Equivalent QTP funtions for the below mentioned WR functions:

1. getvar - getvar Returns the value of a testing option/configuration parameter.
Examples: 1. old_t = getvar ("timeout"); 2. old_d = getvar ("delay");

2. match - finds the occurrence of a regular expression in a string. This function returns the location in the string at which the regular_expression is found. The value returned is the character position at which the regular expression starts.

3. treturn - The treturn statement is used when calling a test. It stops a called test and returns control to the calling test. It also provides a return value for the called test.

4. getenv - returns the value of any environment variable, as defined WinRunner runtime environment.
getenv function reads the current value of an environment variable.
