Calling reusable Actions from a Test WITHOUT having to interfere with the UI

[ConstantChange]

Hi all!

Even though I gave up hope in this:

Does anybody know whether its possible to call an external Action from a script without having to first using the "Insert - Call to existing Action" menu. I would like to decide dynamically which action to run, but that obviously does not work.

to make it clear, an example:

I open a new Test and write this line into the main action:

Code:

RunAction "LoginDealer [LoginLib]", oneIteration, "dealer1", "d1password"

If I run the test it will throw the error "Action not found".

If I now do the "Insert - call to existing action" stuff, refering to the same action, QTP will insert another line, so the script now will look like this

Code:

RunAction "LoginDealer [LoginLib]", oneIteration, "dealer1", "d1password"
RunAction "LoginDealer [LoginLib]", oneIteration

Now I delete the second line which was just inserted, so the script looks EXACTLY like before

Code:

RunAction "LoginDealer [LoginLib]", oneIteration, "dealer1", "d1password"

and if I run the test now it will work fine.

So, how can I avoid doing the insert shtuff?

Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately I dont think you can do that.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
