How do we declare the global,local variables of different type in script routine

Hi Sri,



There are no explicit variable types in VBScript. Since TestComplete uses Microsoft VBScript engine, I recommend that you see the following MSDN Library article for more information:


http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t0aew7h6.aspx





Local variables are variables declared in a function's scope, global variables are variables declared outside of a function (that is, in a global context).

Hi Allen,

So do you mean that i cannot define the varables as Dim StudSSN as integer or Dim LastName as  String or Dim Cuurency as Double etc in the script routine.

Hi Sri,



All variables in scripting languages are of OleVariant type. And even if some scripting language supports declaration like 'Dim str As String' this is just a syntax wrapping.

VBScript does not support typed variables and all variables must be declared as

Dim StudSSN

Dim LastName

Dim Currency



All of them will be of OleVariant type unless you explicitly assign them typed value using CInt()/CStr/CLng() etc. functions.

Hi Team,



How do I declare a variable with data type if based on the above description.

Is there any other way?

Thanks.

Global Variable Declaration:



After double click on Project display the Proj info. Navigate to Variable page :

Right click on Temporary Variable, create New Item and give the Variable name(var) and default value.



Now you can access the above variable in your scripts :

var1=Project.Variables.var



You can override the deafult variables in your script and access.
