Exception in Keyword testing with Data Base Table variable

Hello,

 

I am trying to compare excel data with desktop application. Passing inputs from my local excel. Created variable in project level and assigned related excel cells.

Test complete is throwing exception when i am passing 000 via excel.

Example: customer id is 00000088 . In the excel the field type is Text. 

Declared as below in test complete. 

Can you please help me how to make this test accept text type as input from excel.

    Hi,

     

    I found the solution finally. The working solution is passing all fields data type as text to testcomplete. 

    Will close this thread. Thank you.

    Hello bkrishna213 - 

     

    What is the step in your test that is throwing the exception? Is it a checkpoint? Please show how it is configured.

     

    Thanks, 
    Emma

      Step where entering customer id

       

       

      Onscreen action for settext. Here CustomerId is the one which I am picking from excel.

      Expected is this step need to enter 0000008 in edit field. But once the control comes here exception is thrown.

      KeywordTests.Customer_Inquiry_DataLoop.Variables.Cust_inq["CustomerId"]

       

      Excel is having below columns

        Over the years I've been using TestComplete, I would run into this problem, and others, using Excel as a data source.  I was spending a lot of time trying to compensate for what are just innate properties of Excel itself.  When I switched to using .csv files for my data source, my test development got much easier.

    Hi,

    Could you take a screenshot of the keyword test or code you are running that's failing?

      The entire test is based on Property check point comparison.

      And its a data driven loop keyword test. The comparison is passed for when excel cell data type is integer Ex: 8900000.

      I converted to text local excel cell to text to accept 0's. When this cell hit test complete then exception is thrown.

      Please check the attachment.

      Thank you.
