Thread: Assign value to variable in datapool

Is it possible to assign a value to a variable in the datapool through RFT scripting.
I tried with the following:

dpSrting("UserName") = "TestUser";
// This is throwing error message "The left hand side of an assignment must be a variable.

dpSrting("UserName").value = "TestUser";
// This is throwing error message "The field String.value is not visible"


Can anyone help me with how to solve this issue?

Question asked by visitor Ashok

Can you tell me what is RFT scripting.
I familiar with vb and java scripttings.
but not RFT.

Hi Rajaputra,

RFT scripting is basically scripting using an automation tool called as RATIONAL FUNCTIONAL TESTER.(RFT)

RFT provides 2 scripting bases - Java version and .NET version which supports VBScripting syntaxes. RFT was introduced as Rational Robot could not provide proper support to java swing applications.

Also RFT has a better user interface and user-friendly nature as compared to Rational Robot.

Hi Guest,

from what I understand to your error message stating that "The left hand side of an assignment must be a variable", did you try this.....

var strName = "TestUser"
strName = dpSrting("UserName");

Cheers.......
