Can you do functions by calling filename or any other better ways? - chong67 - 05-25-2012

I have functions that I use all the time in my automation.

1. Can I save the function to another filename?
2. If I save to another filename how do I evoke it?
3. Is there any other better way?

==============

Below is example of my function:

Code:
Dim OutDate,ReturnDate,RndValue

' Initialize random-number generator

Randomize

' Generate random value between 200 and 300

RndValue = Int(  (300-200 +1)* Rnd + 200)

'msgBox(RndValue)

OutDate = DateAdd("d", RndValue, Date)

'msgBox(OutDate)

ReturnDate = DateAdd("d", RndValue+10, Date)

'msgBox(ReturnDate)

================

My code that calls it:

Code:
Browser("Delta Air Lines - Airline").Page("Delta Air Lines - Airline").WebEdit("departureDate_0").Set OutDate

you should look into function library, it is an external file, can contain functions and objects/variables.

I got it working the first time. It was not that hard. I just google it. I just didnt know its called 'function library'

You need to go to Resources Tab and do "Associated Function Librarys".

I dont know if this is good programming or not.

I am still learning.

=============
' I save this to a file

Code:
Dim  RndValue

Randomize

RndValue = Int(  (300-200 +1)* Rnd + 200)

Public Function OutDate()

     OD = DateAdd("d", RndValue, Date)

     OutDate = OD

End Function

Public Function ReturnDate()

    RD= DateAdd("d", RndValue+10, Date)

    ReturnDate = RD

End Function

======================
'Put this in expert view:

Code:
Browser("Delta Air Lines - Airline_2").Page("Delta - Book a flight").WebEdit("departureDate[0]").Set OutDate

Browser("Delta Air Lines - Airline_2").Page("Delta - Book a flight_14").WebEdit("departureDate[1]").Set ReturnDate
