This is DelphiScript... not Delphi... so, if there are certain commands, modules, etc., that are part of the Delphi IDE environment, they are not going to be here.

 

Based upon what you are wanting to do, you should look into using the WshShell object that's built into TestComplete and utilize the Exec method on that object.  Your code might then look something like


procedure initializeDatabaseForTesting;
begin
WshShell.Run('cmd.exe \c sqlcmd -S mypc\express2014 -i C:\TestComplete\tests\restoredb.sql)
end;
