How to Skip a Line in Test Complete during Execution

is this possible to create a function which takes a string input , if string matches then skip the execution to next line.  

 

ex:-

sub Login(userName, password)

Aliases.browser.AdminSignIn.Username.SetText  IsSkipped(useName)

Aliases.browser.AdminSignIn.Password.SetText  password

End Sub

 

here isSkipped() is a function which takes string as input and If String is ''skip'' then execution will be skipped to next line, without setting the value to user name field

    You are using now,

     

    Aliases.browser.AdminSignIn.Username.SetText  IsSkipped(useName)

    Aliases.browser.AdminSignIn.Password.SetText  password

     

    Instead of this, I would say for entering the field you can create a common function as below.

     

    Function EnterTextBox(ObjectTextBox,ValueToEnter,fridenlyName)

If ObjectTextBox.Exists Then
 
 If ValueToEnter <> "Skip" Then 
   ObjectTextBox.SetText(ValueToEnter)
 Else
   Log.Message(fridenlyName & "textbox skipped")
 End If
Else

 Log.Error(fridenlyName & "Object does't exists")

End If

     

    To implement above just call like below,

    EnterTextBox(Aliases.browser.AdminSignIn.Username,"<valuetoenter>","User Name")

    If I correctly understood you, better to do it within the login function.

     

    Pseudo code:

    function login(user_name, password):
  
  if user_name:
    Aliases.Username.SetText(user_name)
    Aliases.Password.SetText(password)

  else:
    Aliases.Password.SetText(password)

      in our project we have some test where we skip the some of field values, so what i need is  while setting the value , i will call the function , which takes string input, if the given input is "skip", then it should skip the execution to next line ,else it should enter the value to field.

      so i can call the same function before setting any values and pass the parameter  value as "skip" if i wanted to skip that field. 

       

      currently we are using VB Script for scripting
