how to call action with few parameters

[kocyk]

i know that i can do this way:
RunAction "STAGE_2", oneIteration,"value_of_param2", "value_of_param2", "value_of_param3"

but what if I want to change only value of param3?
i run it this way
RunAction "STAGE_2", oneIteration,,, "value_of_param3"
-
i just left 2 spaces free, but hope there is some other way like:
RunAction "STAGE_2", oneIteration, param3="value_of_param3"

was searching but couldn't finsd anything, maybe someone can help me...

Not sure if it'll work at all - no QTP to test it on here.

But if it works any way, I'd expect it to read as

param3:= "value_of_param3"

thanks, but it does not work
maybe it is just not possible?

Can you wrap the whole thing into a string and execute the string (can do it in WinRunner - which I do have) can't remember if you can do this in QTP or not, but essentially..
WR Code - syntax probably not the same in QTP...

ExeString = "RunAction \"STAGE_2\", oneIteration,\"param1\", \"param2\", \"" & value_param_3 & \"

then:

eval(ExeString);

causes ExeString to be evaluated as a program command. As we've written the function call, and effectively hard coded Param1 and Param2, only Param3 is picked up and added in separately..

Like I say though, this is a WR solution (that's also why the \ are present, to demonstrate literal chars in the string), but there'll likely be an equivalent in QTP.
