Introduction

o VBScript is a scripting language.

o VBScript is a light version of Microsoft's programming language Visual Basic.

When a VBScript is inserted into a HTML document, the Internet browser will read

the HTML and interpret the VBScript. The VBScript can be executed immediately, or

at a later event.

Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition brings active scripting to a wide variety of

environments, including Web client scripting in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Web

server scripting in Microsoft Internet Information Service.

1.1 Windows Script Host (WSH)

It is a Windows administration tool. WSH creates an environment for hosting scripts.

That is, when a script arrives at your computer, WSH plays the part of the host — it

makes objects and services available for the script and provides a set of guidelines

within which the script is executed. Among other things, Windows Script Host

manages security and invokes the appropriate script engine

Windows Script Host is built into Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, and Millennium

Editions and higher versions.

A Windows script is a text file. We can create a script with any text editor as long as

we save our script with a WSH-compatible script extension (.js, vbs, or .wsf).

The most commonly available text editor is already installed on our computer —

Notepad. We can also use your favorite HTML editor, VbsEdit, Microsoft Visual C++,

or Visual InterDev.

1.2 Creating a script with Notepad

1.Start Notepad.

2.Write your script. For example purposes, type Msgbox "Hello VB Script"

3.Save this text file with a .vbs extension (instead of the default .txt extension). For

example, Hello.vbs

4.Navigate to the file you just saved, and double-click it.

5.Windows Script Host invokes the VB Script engine and runs your script. In the

example, a message box is displayed with the message "Hello VB Script"

1.3 Hosting Environments and Script Engines

Scripts are often embedded in Web pages, either in an HTML page (on the client

side) or in an ASP page (on the server side).

Page 5: VBScripting for QTP

5

In the case of a script embedded in an HTML page, the engine component that

interprets and runs the script code is loaded by the Web browser, such as Internet

Explorer.

In the case of a script embedded in an ASP page, the engine that interprets and runs

the script code is built into Internet Information Services (IIS).

Windows Script Host executes scripts that exist outside an HTML or ASP page and

that stand on their own as text files.

1.4 Available Script Engines

Generally, we write scripts in either Microsoft JScript or VBScript, the two script

engines that ship with Microsoft Windows 98, 2000 and Millennium Editions.

We can use other script engines, such as Perl, REXX, and Python, with Windows

Script Host.

A stand-alone script written in JScript has the .js extension; a stand-alone script

written in VBScript has the .vbs extension. These extensions are registered with

Windows. When we run one of these types of files, Windows starts Windows Script

Host, which invokes the associated script engine to interpret and run the file.

Comments

The comment argument is the text of any comment we want to include.

2.0 Purpose of comments:

o We can use comments for making the script understandable.

o We can use comments for making one or more statements disable from

execution.

2.1 Syntax

Rem comment (After the Rem keyword, a space is required before comment.)

Or

Apostrophe (') symbol before the comment

2.2 Comment/Uncomment a block of statements

Select block of statement and use short cut key Ctrl + M (for comment)

Select comment block and use short cut key Ctrl + Shift + M (for uncomment)

2.3 Example

VB Script Variables

A variable is a convenient placeholder that refers to a computer memory location

where we can store program information that may change during the time our script

is running.

3.1 Declaring Variables

We declare variables explicitly in our script using the Dim statement, the Public

statement, and the Private statement.

For example:

Dim city

Dim x

We declare multiple variables by separating each variable name with a comma. For

Example:

Dim x, Top, Bottom, Left, Right

We can also declare a variable implicitly by simply using its name in our script. That

is not generally a good practice because we could misspell the variable name in one

or more places, causing unexpected results when our script is run. For that reason,

the Option Explicit statement is available to require explicit declaration of all

variables.

The Option Explicit statement should be the first statement in our script.

3.2 Option Explicit

Forces explicit declaration of all variables in a script.

Option Explicit ' Force explicit variable declaration.

Dim MyVar ' Declare variable.

MyInt = 10 ' Undeclared variable generates error.

MyVar = 10 ' Declared variable does not generate error.

3.3 Naming Restrictions for Variables

Variable names follow the standard rules for naming anything in VBScript. A variable

name:

o Must begin with an alphabetic character.

o Cannot contain an embedded period.

o Must not exceed 255 characters.

o Must be unique in the scope in which it is declared.

Page 8: VBScripting for QTP

8

3.4 Scope of Variables

A variable's scope is determined by where we declare it.

When we declare a variable within a procedure, only code within that procedure can

access or change the value of that variable.

If we declare a variable outside a procedure, we make it recognizable to all the

procedures in our script. This is a script-level variable, and it has script-level scope.

3.5 Life Time of Variables

The lifetime of a variable depends on how long it exists.

The lifetime of a script-level variable extends from the time it is declared until the

time the script is finished running.

At procedure level, a variable exists only as long as you are in the procedure.

3.6 Assigning Values to Variables

Values are assigned to variables creating an expression as follows:

The variable is on the left side of the expression and the value you want to assign to

the variable is on the right.

For example:

A = 200

City = ―Pune‖

X=100: Y=200

3.7 Scalar Variables and Array Variables

A variable containing a single value is a scalar variable.

A variable containing a series of values, is called an array variable.

Array variables and scalar variables are declared in the same way, except that the

declaration of an array variable uses parentheses () following the variable name.

Example:

Dim A(3)

Although the number shown in the parentheses is 3, all arrays in VBScript are zero-

based, so this array actually contains 4 elements.

We assign data to each of the elements of the array using an index into the array.

Beginning at zero and ending at 4, data can be assigned to the elements of an array

as follows:

Page 9: VBScripting for QTP

9

A(0) = 256

A(1) = 324

A(2) = 100

A(3) = 55

Similarly, the data can be retrieved from any element using an index into the

particular array element you want.

For example:

SomeVariable = A(4)

Arrays aren't limited to a single dimension. We can have as many as 60 dimensions,

although most people can't comprehend more than three or four dimensions.

In the following example, the MyTable variable is a two-dimensional array consisting

of 6 rows and 11 columns:

Dim MyTable(5, 10)

In a two-dimensional array, the first number is always the number of rows; the

second number is the number of columns.

3.8 Dynamic Arrays

We can also declare an array whose size changes during the time our script is

running. This is called a dynamic array.

The array is initially declared within a procedure using either the Dim statement or

using the ReDim statement.

However, for a dynamic array, no size or number of dimensions is placed inside the

parentheses.

For example:

Dim MyArray()

ReDim AnotherArray()

To use a dynamic array, you must subsequently use ReDim to determine the number

of dimensions and the size of each dimension.

In the following example, ReDim sets the initial size of the dynamic array to 25. A

subsequent ReDim statement resizes the array to 30, but uses the Preserve keyword

to preserve the contents of the array as the resizing takes place.

ReDim MyArray(25)

ReDim Preserve MyArray(30)

There is no limit to the number of times we can resize a dynamic array, although if

we make an array smaller, we lose the data in the eliminated elements.

Page 10: VBScripting for QTP

VB Script Data Types

VBScript has only one data type called a Variant. A Variant is a special kind of data

type that can contain different kinds of information, depending on how it is used.

Because Variant is the only data type in VBScript, it is also the data type returned by

all functions in VBScript.

4.1 Variant Subtypes

Beyond the simple numeric or string classifications, a Variant can make further

distinctions about the specific nature of numeric information. For example, we can

have numeric information that represents a date or a time. When used with other

date or time data, the result is always expressed as a date or a time. We can also

have a rich variety of numeric information ranging in size from Boolean values to

huge floating-point numbers. These different categories of information that can be

contained in a Variant are called subtypes. Most of the time, we can just put the kind

of data we want in a Variant, and the Variant behaves in a way that is most

appropriate for the data it contains.

The following table shows subtypes of data that a Variant can contain.

Subtype Description

Empty Variant is uninitialized. Value is 0 for numeric variables or a zero-length string ("") for string variables.

Null Variant intentionally contains no valid data.

Boolean Contains either True or False.

Byte Contains integer in the range 0 to 255.

Integer Contains integer in the range -32,768 to 32,767.

Currency -922,337,203,685,477.5808 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807.

Long Contains integer in the range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

Single Contains a single-precision, floating-point number in the range -3.402823E38 to -1.401298E-45 for negative values; 1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values.

Double Contains a double-precision, floating-point number in the range -1.79769313486232E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for negative values; 4.94065645841247E-324 to 1.79769313486232E308 for positive values.

Date (Time)

Contains a number that represents a date between January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999.

String Contains a variable-length string that can be up to approximately 2 billion characters in length.

Object Contains an object.

Error Contains an error number. We can use conversion functions to convert data from one subtype to another. In

addition, the VarType function returns information about how your data is stored

within a Variant.

VB Script Operators

Operators are used for performing mathematical, comparison and logical operations.

VBScript has a full range of operators, including arithmetic operators, comparison

operators, concatenation operators, and logical operators.

5.1 Operator Precedence

When several operations occur in an expression, each part is evaluated and resolved

in a predetermined order called operator precedence.

We can use parentheses to override the order of precedence and force some parts of

an expression to be evaluated before others.

Operations within parentheses are always performed before those outside. Within

parentheses, however, standard operator precedence is maintained.

When expressions contain operators from more than one category, arithmetic

operators are evaluated first, comparison operators are evaluated next, and logical

operators are evaluated last.

Comparison operators all have equal precedence; that is, they are evaluated in the

left-to-right order in which they appear.

Arithmetic and logical operators are evaluated in the following order of precedence.

5.2 Arithmetic Operators:

Operator Description

1) Exponentiation Operator (^) Raises a number to the power of an exponent

2) Multiplication Operator (*) Multiplies two numbers.

3) Division Operator (/) Divides two numbers and returns a floating-point

result.

4) Integer Division Operator (\) Divides two numbers and returns an integer result.

5) Mod Operator Divides two numbers and returns only the remainder.

6) Addition Operator (+) Sums two numbers.

7) Subtraction Operator (-) Finds the difference between two numbers or indicates

the negative value of a numeric expression.

8) Concatenation Operator (&) Forces string concatenation of two expressions.

5.3 Comparison Operators

Used to compare expressions.

Operator Description

1) = (Equal to) Used to compare expressions.

2) <> (Not equal to) Used to compare expressions.

3) < Less than

4) > Grater than

Page 12: VBScripting for QTP

12

5) <= Less than or equal to

6) >= Greater than or equal to

7) Is Object equivalence

5.4 Concatenation Operators

Operator Description

1) Addition Operator (+)

Sums two numbers

If Then 1) Both expressions are numeric Add.

2) Both expressions are strings Concatenate.

3) One expression is numeric and the

other is a string

Add.

2) Concatenation

Operator (&)

Forces string concatenation of two expressions.

5.5 Logical Operators

Operator Description Syntax

1) Not Performs logical negation on an

expression

result= Not expression

2) And Performs a logical conjunction on two

expressions.

result= expression1 And

expression2

3) Or Performs a logical disjunction on two

expressions.

result= expression1 Or

expression2

4) Xor Performs a logical exclusion on two

expressions.

result= expression1 Xor

expression2

5) Eqv Performs a logical equivalence on two

expressions.

result= expression1 Eqv

expression2

6) Imp Performs a logical implication on two

expressions.

result= expression1 Imp

expression2

Input/Output Operations

6.1 InputBox Function

Displays a prompt in a dialog box, waits for the user to input text or click a button,

and returns the contents of the text box.

Example:

Dim Input

Input = InputBox("Enter your name")

MsgBox ("You entered: " & Input)

6.2 MsgBox Function

Displays a message in a dialog box, waits for the user to click a button, and returns a

value indicating which button the user clicked.

Example:

Dim MyVar

MyVar = MsgBox ("Hello World!", 65, "MsgBox Example")

' MyVar contains either 1 or 2, depending on which button is clicked.

Page 14: VBScripting for QTP

VB Script Constants

A constant is a meaningful name that takes the place of a number or string and

never changes.

7.1 Creating Constants

We create user-defined constants in VBScript using the Const statement. Using the

Const statement, we can create string or numeric constants with meaningful names

and assign them literal values.

Const statement

Declares constants for use in place of literal values.

Example:

Const MyString = "This is my string."

Const MyAge = 49

Const CutoffDate = #6-1-97#

Note that String literal is enclosed in quotation marks (" ").

Represent Date literals and time literals by enclosing them in number signs (#).

We declare multiple constants by separating each constant name and value with a

comma. For example:

Const price= 100, city= ―Hyderabad‖, x= 27

Page 15: VBScripting for QTP

15

Conditional Statements

We can control the flow of our script with conditional statements and looping

statements.

Using conditional statements, we can write VBScript code that makes decisions and

repeats actions. The following conditional statements are available in VBScript:

1) If…Then…Else Statement

2) Select Case Statement

8.1 Making Decisions Using If...Then...Else

The If...Then...Else statement is used to evaluate whether a condition is True or

False and, depending on the result, to specify one or more statements to run.

Usually the condition is an expression that uses a comparison operator to compare

one value or variable with another.

If...Then...Else statements can be nested to as many levels as you need.

8.1.1 Running a Statement if a Condition is True (single statement)

To run only one statement when a condition is True, use the single-line syntax for

the If...Then...Else statement.

Dim myDate

myDate = #2/13/98#

If myDate < Now Then myDate = Now

8.1.2 Running Statements if a Condition is True (multiple statements)

To run more than one line of code, we must use the multiple-line (or block) syntax.

This syntax includes the End If statement.

Dim x

x= 20

If x>10 Then

msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

msgbox "x value is: "&x

msgbox "Bye Bye"

End If

8.1.3 Running Certain Statements if a Condition is True and Running Others if a

Condition is False

Page 16: VBScripting for QTP

16

We can use an If...Then...Else statement to define two blocks of executable

statements: one block to run if the condition is True, the other block to run if the

condition is False.

Example:

Dim x

x= Inputbox (" Enter a value")

If x>100 Then

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

Msgbox "X is a Big Number"

Msgbox "X value is: "&X

Else

Msgbox "GCR"

Msgbox "X is a Small Number"

Msgbox "X value is: "&X

End If

8.1.4 Deciding Between Several Alternatives

A variation on the If...Then...Else statement allows us to choose from several

alternatives. Adding ElseIf clauses expands the functionality of the If...Then...Else

statement so we can control program flow based on different possibilities.

Example:

Dim x

x= Inputbox (" Enter a value")

If x>0 and x<=100 Then

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

Msgbox "X is a Small Number"

Msgbox "X value is "&x

Else IF x>100 and x<=500 Then

Msgbox "Hello GCR"

Msgbox "X is a Medium Number"

Else IF x>500 and x<=1000 Then

Msgbox "Hello Chandra Mohan Reddy"

Msgbox "X is a Large Number"

Else

Msgbox "Hello Sir"

Msgbox "X is a Grand Number"

End If

End If

End If

8.1.5 Executing a certain block of statements when two / more conditions are True

(Nested If...)

Example:

Dim State, Region

Page 17: VBScripting for QTP

17

State=Inputbox ("Enter a State")

Region=Inputbox ("Enter a Region")

If state= "AP" Then

If Region= "Telangana" Then

msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

msgbox "Dist count is 10"

Else if Region= "Rayalasema" Then

msgbox "Hello GCR"

msgbox "Dist count is 4"

Else If Region= "Costal" Then

msgbox "Hello Chandra mohan Reddy"

msgbox "Dist count is 9"

End If

End If

End If

End If

8.2 Making Decisions with Select Case

The Select Case structure provides an alternative to If...Then...ElseIf for selectively

executing one block of statements from among multiple blocks of statements. A

Select Case statement provides capability similar to the If...Then...Else statement,

but it makes code more efficient and readable.

Example:

Option explicit

Dim x,y, Operation, Result

x= Inputbox (" Enter x value")

y= Inputbox ("Enter y value")

Operation= Inputbox ("Enter an Operation")

Select Case Operation

Case "add"

Result= cdbl (x)+cdbl (y)

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

Msgbox "Addition of x,y values is "&Result

Case "sub"

Result= x-y

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

Msgbox "Substraction of x,y values is "&Result

Case "mul"

Result= x*y

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

Msgbox "Multiplication of x,y values is "&Result

Page 18: VBScripting for QTP

18

Case "div"

Result= x/y

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

Msgbox "Division of x,y values is "&Result

Case "mod"

Result= x mod y

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

Msgbox "Mod of x,y values is "&Result

Case "expo"

Result= x^y

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

Msgbox"Exponentation of x,y values is "&Result

Case Else

Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"

msgbox "Wrong Operation"

End Select

8.3 Other Examples

Looping Through Code

o Looping allows us to run a group of statements repeatedly.

o Some loops repeat statements until a condition is False;

o Others repeat statements until a condition is True.

o There are also loops that repeat statements a specific number of times.

The following looping statements are available in VBScript:

o Do...Loop: Loops while or until a condition is True.

o While...Wend: Loops while a condition is True.

o For...Next: Uses a counter to run statements a specified number of times.

o For Each...Next: Repeats a group of statements for each item in a collection

or each element of an array.

9.1 Using Do Loops

We can use Do...Loop statements to run a block of statements an indefinite number

of times.

The statements are repeated either while a condition is True or until a condition

becomes True.

9.1.1 Repeating Statements While a Condition is True

Repeats a block of statements while a condition is True or until a condition becomes

True

a) Do While condition

Statements

VB Script Procedures

In VBScript, there are two kinds of procedures available; the Sub procedure and the

Function procedure.

12.1 Sub Procedures

A Sub procedure is a series of VBScript statements (enclosed by Sub and End Sub

statements) that perform actions but don't return a value.

A Sub procedure can take arguments (constants, variables, or expressions that are

passed by a calling procedure).

If a Sub procedure has no arguments, its Sub statement must include an empty set

of parentheses ().

Syntax:

Sub Procedure name ()

Statements

-----------

-----------

End Sub

Or

Sub Procedure name (argument1, argument2)

Statements

-----------

-----------

End Sub

Example: 1

Sub ConvertTemp()

temp = InputBox("Please enter the temperature in degrees F.", 1)

MsgBox "The temperature is " & Celsius(temp) & " degrees C."

End Sub

Example: 2

12.2 Function Procedures

A Function procedure is a series of VBScript statements enclosed by the Function and

End Function statements.

A Function procedure is similar to a Sub procedure, but can also return a value.

A Function procedure can take arguments (constants, variables, or expressions that

are passed to it by a calling procedure).

If a Function procedure has no arguments, its Function statement must include an

empty set of parentheses.

Page 29: VBScripting for QTP

29

A Function returns a value by assigning a value to its name in one or more

statements of the procedure. The return type of a Function is always a Variant.

Syntax:

Function Procedure name ()

Statements

-----------

-----------

End Function

Or

Function Procedure name (argument1, argument2)

Statements

-----------

-----------

End Function

Example: 1

Function Celsius(fDegrees)

Celsius = (fDegrees - 32) * 5 / 9

End Function

Example: 2

Function cal(a,b,c)

cal = (a+b+c)

End Function

12.3 Procedure Arguments

o Each piece of data is passed into our procedures using an argument.

o Arguments serve as placeholders for the data we want to pass into our

procedure. We can name our arguments any valid variable name.

o When we create a procedure using either the Sub statement or the Function

statement, parentheses must be included after the name of the procedure.

o Any arguments are placed inside these parentheses, separated by commas.

12.4 Calling the Procedures

A Function in our code must always be used on the right side of a variable

assignment or in an expression.

For example:

Temp = Celsius(fDegrees)

-Or-

MsgBox "The Celsius temperature is " & Celsius(fDegrees) & " degrees."

To call a Sub procedure from another procedure, type the name of the procedure

along with values for any required arguments, each separated by a comma.

Page 30: VBScripting for QTP

30

The Call statement is not required, but if you do use it, you must enclose any

arguments in parentheses.

The following example shows two calls to the MyProc procedure. One uses the Call

statement in the code; the other doesn't. Both do exactly the same thing.

Call MyProc(firstarg, secondarg)

MyProc firstarg, secondarg

Notice that the parentheses are omitted in the call when the Call statement isn't

used.

VBScript syntax rules and guidelines

1 Case-sensitivity:

By default, VBScript is not case sensitive and does not differentiate between upper

case and lower-case spelling of words, for example, in variables, object and method

names, or constants.

For example, the two statements below are identical in VBScript:

Browser("Mercury").Page("Find a Flight:").WebList("toDay").Select "31"

browser("mercury").page("find a flight:").weblist("today").select "31"

2 Text strings:

When we enter a value as a text string, we must add quotation marks before and

after the string. For example, in the above segment of script, the names of the Web

site, Web page, and edit box are all text strings surrounded by quotation marks.

Note that the value 31 is also surrounded by quotation marks, because it is a text

string that represents a number and not a numeric value.

In the following example, only the property name (first argument) is a text string

and is in quotation marks. The second argument (the value of the property) is a

variable and therefore does not have quotation marks. The third argument

(specifying the timeout) is a numeric value, which also does not need quotation

marks.

Browser("Mercury").Page("Find a Flight:").WaitProperty("items count", Total_Items,

2000)

3 Variables:

We can specify variables to store strings, integers, arrays and objects. Using

variables helps to make our script more readable and flexible

4 Parentheses:

To achieve the desired result and to avoid errors, it is important that we use

parentheses () correctly in our statements.

5 Indentation:

We can indent or outdent our script to reflect the logical structure and nesting of the

statements.

6 Comments:

Page 36: VBScripting for QTP

36

We can add comments to our statements using an apostrophe ('), either at the

beginning of a separate line, or at the end of a statement. It is recommended that

we add comments wherever possible, to make our scripts easier to understand and

maintain.

7 Spaces:

We can add extra blank spaces to our script to improve clarity. These spaces are

ignored by VBScript.

Errors

We have two types Errors in VB Script; they are VBScript Run-time Errors and

VBScript Syntax Errors

1 VBScript Run-time Errors

VBScript run-time errors are errors that result when our VBScript script attempts to

perform an action that the system cannot execute. VBScript run-time errors occur

while our script is being executed; when variable expressions are being evaluated,

and memory is being dynamic allocated.

2 VBScript Syntax Errors

VBScript syntax errors are errors that result when the structure of one of our

VBScript statements violates one or more of the grammatical rules of the VBScript

scripting language. VBScript syntax errors occur during the program compilation

stage, before the program has begun to be executed.

Appendix D: VBScript Glossary

ActiveX control

An object that you place on a form to enable or enhance a user's interaction

with an application. ActiveX controls have events and can be incorporated into

other controls. The controls have an .ocx file name extension.

ActiveX object

An object that is exposed to other applications or programming tools through

Automation interfaces.

Argument

A constant, variable, or expression passed to a procedure.

Array

A set of sequentially indexed elements having the same type of data. Each

element of an array has a unique identifying index number. Changes made to

one element of an array do not affect the other elements.

ASCII Character Set

American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) 7-bit character

set widely used to represent letters and symbols found on a standard U.S.

keyboard. The ASCII character set is the same as the first 128 characters (0–

127) in the ANSI character set.

Automation object

An object that is exposed to other applications or programming tools through

Automation interfaces.

Bitwise comparison

A bit-by-bit comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric

expressions.

Boolean expression

An expression that evaluates to either True or False.

By reference

A way of passing the address, rather than the value, of an argument to a

procedure. This allows the procedure to access the actual variable. As a

result, the variable's actual value can be changed by the procedure to which it

is passed.

By value

Page 72: VBScripting for QTP

72

A way of passing the value, rather than the address, of an argument to a

procedure. This allows the procedure to access a copy of the variable. As a

result, the variable's actual value can't be changed by the procedure to which

it is passed.

character code

A number that represents a particular character in a set, such as the ASCII

character set.

Class

The formal definition of an object. The class acts as the template from which

an instance of an object is created at run time. The class defines the

properties of the object and the methods used to control the object's

behavior.

Class module

A module containing the definition of a class (its property and method

definitions).

Collection

An object that contains a set of related objects. An object's position in the

collection can change whenever a change occurs in the collection; therefore,

the position of any specific object in the collection may vary.

Comment

Text added to code by a programmer that explains how the code works. In

Visual Basic Scripting Edition, a comment line generally starts with an

apostrophe ('), or you can use the keyword Rem followed by a space.

Comparison operator

A character or symbol indicating a relationship between two or more values or

expressions. These operators include less than (<), less than or equal to

(<=), greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), not equal (<>), and

equal (=).

Is is also a comparison operator, but it is used exclusively for determining if

one object reference is the same as another.

Constant

A named item that retains a constant value throughout the execution of a

program. Constants can be used anywhere in your code in place of actual

values. A constant can be a string or numeric literal, another constant, or any

combination that includes arithmetic or logical operators except Is and

exponentiation. For example:

Const A = "MyString"

Page 73: VBScripting for QTP

73

Data ranges

Each Variant subtype has a specific range of allowed values:

Subtype Range

Byte 0 to 255.

Boolean True or False.

Integer -32,768 to 32,767.

Long -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

Single -3.402823E38 to -1.401298E-45 for negative values;

1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values.

Double -1.79769313486232E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for

negative values; 4.94065645841247E-324 to

1.79769313486232E308 for positive values.

Currency -922,337,203,685,477.5808 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807.

Date January 1, 100 to December 31, 9999, inclusive.

Object Any Object reference.

String Variable-length strings may range in length from 0 to

approximately 2 billion characters.

Date expression

Any expression that can be interpreted as a date. This includes any

combination of date literals, numbers that look like dates, strings that look

like dates, and dates returned from functions. A date expression is limited to

numbers or strings, in any combination, that can represent a date from

January 1, 100 through December 31, 9999.

Dates are stored as part of a real number. Values to the left of the decimal

represent the date; values to the right of the decimal represent the time. Negative numbers represent dates prior to December 30, 1899.

Date literal

Any sequence of characters with a valid format that is surrounded by number

signs (#). Valid formats include the date format specified by the locale

settings for your code or the universal date format. For example, #12/31/99#

is the date literal that represents December 31, 1999, where English-U.S. is

the locale setting for your application.

In VBScript, the only recognized format is US-ENGLISH, regardless of the

actual locale of the user. That is, the interpreted format is mm/dd/yyyy.

Page 74: VBScripting for QTP

74

Date separators

Characters used to separate the day, month, and year when date values are

formatted.

Empty

A value that indicates that no beginning value has been assigned to a

variable. Empty variables are 0 in a numeric context, or zero-length in a

string context.

Error number

A whole number in the range 0 to 65,535, inclusive, that corresponds to the

Number property of the Err object. When combined with the Name property

of the Err object, this number represents a particular error message.

Expression

A combination of keywords, operators, variables, and constants that yield a

string, number, or object. An expression can perform a calculation,

manipulate characters, or test data.

Intrinsic constant

A constant provided by an application. Because you can't disable intrinsic

constants, you can't create a user-defined constant with the same name.

Keyword

A word or symbol recognized as part of the VBScript language; for example, a

statement, function name, or operator.

Locale

The set of information that corresponds to a given language and country. A

locale affects the language of predefined programming terms and locale-

specific settings. There are two contexts where locale information is

important:

The code locale affects the language of terms such as keywords and

defines locale-specific settings such as the decimal and list separators,

date formats, and character sorting order.

The system locale affects the way locale-aware functionality behaves,

for example, when you display numbers or convert strings to dates.

You set the system locale using the Control Panel utilities provided by the operating system.

Nothing

The special value that indicates that an object variable is no longer associated

with any actual object.

Page 75: VBScripting for QTP

75

Null

A value indicating that a variable contains no valid data. Null is the result of:

An explicit assignment of Null to a variable.

Any operation between expressions that contain Null.

Numeric expression

Any expression that can be evaluated as a number. Elements of the

expression can include any combination of keywords, variables, constants,

and operators that result in a number.

Object type

A type of object exposed by an application, for example, Application, File,

Range, and Sheet. Refer to the application's documentation (Microsoft Excel,

Microsoft Project, Microsoft Word, and so on) for a complete listing of

available objects.

pi

Pi is a mathematical constant equal to approximately 3.1415926535897932.

Private

Variables that are visible only to the script in which they are declared.

Procedure

A named sequence of statements executed as a unit. For example, Function

and Sub are types of procedures.

Procedure level

Describes statements located within a Function or Sub procedure.

Declarations are usually listed first, followed by assignments and other

executable code. For example:

Sub MySub() ' This statement declares a sub procedure block.

Dim A ' This statement starts the procedure block.

A = "My variable" ' Procedure-level code.

Debug.Print A ' Procedure-level code.

End Sub ' This statement ends a sub procedure block.

Note that script-level code resides outside any procedure blocks.

Property

Page 76: VBScripting for QTP

76

A named attribute of an object. Properties define object characteristics such

as size, color, and screen location, or the state of an object, such as enabled

or disabled.

Public

Variables declared using the Public Statement are visible to all procedures in

all modules in all applications.

Run time

The time when code is running. During run time, you can't edit the code.

Run-time error

An error that occurs when code is running. A run-time error results when a

statement attempts an invalid operation.

Scope

Defines the visibility of a variable, procedure, or object. For example, a

variable declared as Public is visible to all procedures in all modules.

Variables declared in procedures are visible only within the procedure and

lose their value between calls.

SCODE

A long integer value that is used to pass detailed information to the caller of

an interface member or API function. The status codes for OLE interfaces and

APIs are defined in FACILITY_ITF.

Script level

Any code outside a procedure is referred to as script-level code.

Seed

An initial value used to generate pseudorandom numbers. For example, the

Randomize statement creates a seed number used by the Rnd function to

create unique pseudorandom number sequences.

String comparison

A comparison of two sequences of characters. Unless specified in the function

making the comparison, all string comparisons are binary. In English, binary

comparisons are case-sensitive; text comparisons are not.

Page 77: VBScripting for QTP

77

String expression

Any expression that evaluates to a sequence of contiguous characters.

Elements of a string expression can include a function that returns a string, a

string literal, a string constant, or a string variable.

Type library

A file or component within another file that contains standard descriptions of

exposed objects, properties, and methods.

Variable

A named storage location that can contain data that can be modified during

program execution. Each variable has a name that uniquely identifies it within

its level of scope.

Variable names:

Must begin with an alphabetic character.

Can't contain an embedded period or type-declaration character.

Must be unique within the same scope.

Must be no longer than 255 characters.
