    We implemented a couple 'wrapper' procedures which are called prior to and upon conclusion of a scenario:

     

     

    Sub ScenarioStart(ByRef intCount, strDescription, sIndicator)

   Log.AppendFolder(strDescription)
   Indicator.PushText(sIndicator)
   intCount = intCount + 1
   
End Sub

    Sub ScenarioEnd(bResult, ByRef intSuccess)

     Indicator.PopText()
     Log.PopLogFolder()
     
     If (bResult = True) Then 
        intSuccess = intSuccess + 1
     End If 

    End Sub ' ScenarioEnd
