Verifying the sort function

[mahadevan.swamy]

Hi,

I have an application which contains a WebTable object and this application does a sort function. The only thing I want to do is that QTP has to verify if the sort is correct. For example, I want QTP to verify if the sort in the 5th column is correct or not. In this column I have about 20 entries. here is my code:

Code:

Browser("").Page("").Frame("").Image("Sort ascending").Click a = Browser("").Page("_2").Frame("_sweview").WebTable("Select for MultiPay").GetCellData(2,5) b = Browser("").Page("_2").Frame("_sweview").WebTable("Select for MultiPay").GetCellData(3,5) c = Browser("").Page("_2").Frame("_sweview").WebTable("Select for MultiPay").GetCellData(4,5) d = Browser("").Page("_2").Frame("_sweview").WebTable("Select for MultiPay").GetCellData(5,5) If a<b and b<c and c<d Then Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Sort_Invoice", "Sort is correct" Else Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Sort_Invoice", "Sort is wrong" End If Browser("").Page("").Frame("_sweview_8").Image("Sort descending").Click a = Browser("").Page("_2").Frame("_sweview").WebTable("Select for MultiPay").GetCellData(2,5) b = Browser("").Page("_2").Frame("_sweview").WebTable("Select for MultiPay").GetCellData(3,5) c = Browser("").Page("_2").Frame("_sweview").WebTable("Select for MultiPay").GetCellData(4,5) d = Browser("").Page("_2").Frame("_sweview").WebTable("Select for MultiPay").GetCellData(5,5) If a>b and b>c and c>d Then Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Sort_Invoice", "Sort is correct" Else Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Sort_Invoice", "Sort is wrong" End If

Now I am told that I have to use arrays to verify the entire sort. Can anybody provide me a code or give me an example on how I can implement this array concept in this code. Thanks

In my opinion, let try this way:
Scan all table
Get the value i and i+1, i is the row of table
compare two values and decide it true or false.
in crease i

Code:

for i=1 to (length_of_table-1) current=browser().page().webtable().getCellData(i,5) next=browser().page().webtable().getCellData(i+1,5) if current<=next then {.....} else {err msg} end if next

Please correct me if I am wrong
