Parameters

Typically, you place parameters in the Parameters field and use the following structure:

param=value;

Separate parameters with a semi-colon.

For example:

prcname=RCOM01; wait=true;

With a Radio object, you can also place parameters in the Value field.

See Radio.

Steps that return a value require the parameter ret=&variable;

For example:

ret=&chart_val;

The system ignores unneeded parameters. For example, Browser.Start and Browser.Start_Login do not take any parameters, so the system ignores any values in the Recognition field for Browser.Start or Browser.Start_Login.

Prompting

The PTF Test Editor provides context sensitive help for recognition and parameters. In the Recognition column or Parameters column you can either press the F4 key, or double-click and then click the More icon that appears, to view the help and enter the corresponding values.
