How do I call a variable checkpoint name from Excel inside a Data Loop?


I have a keyword data loop that uses an Excel spreadsheet
to enter some data, do a region checkpoint, then return to a valid starting
state before looping. I’m using variables (data from Excel) to fill in the
data, but I can’t figure out how to call a Region Checkpoint by a filename
contained in the Excel file.


 


How can I use the Excel file to supply the name of the
region checkpoint?


 


TestComplete 8.2. Microsoft Office Excel 2007.


 


Many thanks,


 


Chuck

  • Hi,



    You need to create a data-driven loop, add the Region Checkpoint operation in it and make this operation use data retrieved from Excel as the checkpoint parameters. See the "Creating Data-Driven Loops" and "Region Checkpoint Operation" help topics.
