You can also retrieve data from your application and output it to the Data Table, using output values. This data can then be used at a later stage in the test. QuickTest displays the retrieved data, following the test run, in the Runtime Data Table.
we use output value cheek point to captuer the output values of the application during script exexution and stores the values in the data table frist colum
Output value is used to retrieve the runtime values. these can be used as input to next functions or action. To insert output check point, right click on the object in active screen of QTP and select ' inset output value' option and follow the steps
The Purpose of Output value is, to use the out put of the two values in one frame used as an input in next frame we use oputput values.
For Ex: THink that there are three frames in an application. Ist Frame:
Input1: 10 + Input2: 20
OK
Output: 30 Next Frame
In First Frame u are doing the addition of two inout value, After Clicking it shows the output of the inouts and think that Ther is a Button i.e, Next Frame...
Second Frame Input3: Output of First Frame - Input4: 20
OK
Output: 10
In Second Frame We need to substract a value frm out put of First Frame, this is a repitation for 20 times at this time we use the output value option for the outpu of first frame and captures the value and put it in a temparory place (Clipboard).
In second frame we use the clipboard information as a input of input 3.
So this is how Output values are used....

Text out put value is to retrive text string from Application at Run-Time. We can store that string to Environment Variable or user defined variable or Data Table. Later we can use that in script
Output values can be used to view the output, stored in some table for future use and documentation
purpose as well as these outputs may be used as input to some other scenario, moreover these outputs are useful to determine the functionality and accuracy of test.
