How do you Change Run mode mid script?

[RB26578]

I realize this thread is old but this may be useful to someone in the future.    Here is a walkthrough someone did and is how I solved this issue....

Essential I moved my long looping process to a .vbs file & associated in the test within the functional library.  For me, the .vbs file builds a dictionary that is used later in the script.  Previously this would take 1min+ to build the dictionary during the test in Normal Run mode.  Now the dictionary is initialized & built at the beginning of the test in a split second.

Note:  I moved the Dictionary.add function from the UFT Action into the InitializeDictionary function 

Code:

'-=== myGlobals.vbs ===-
dim GlobalDictionary

Function iniGlobalDictionary()
    Set GlobalDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    GlobalDictionary.add "myKey1", "myValue1"
    GlobalDictionary.add "myKey2", "myValue2"
    ...
End Function

'-=== UFT Action 1 ===-
'pull value from dictionary
x = GlobalDictionary("myKey1")

print (x)
'yeilds "myValue1"
