Re: Creating Tasks During Runtime

I have a task that I do consistently but at 200+ frequencies. I want to go through each one even if a task fails. What I would like is for there to be a task for every single frequency. Besides for manually copying the task 200 times and changing the frequency variable is there way to automatically set a parameter and initiate a task during runtime?

Re: Creating Tasks During Runtime

Hello,

You can create a procedure RepeateTest() in the Program and call it at the end of the Test you want to Run n Times

The parameter you will pass is the nTimes you want to run the test.

Procedure RepeatTest(nTimes):Void
----------------------------------
nTimes: Val Short
i: Long
s: String
{
TestStatus=NONE

s=GetLogString(aLogStringCalcTestStatus)
i=Pos(Format(Test.Index+1, "00"), s)
s=Left(s, i)+Format(iTestIndex, "00")+Mid(s, i+Len(Format(Test.Index+1, "00")))


SetLogString(s)
if iTestIndex    iTestIndex=iTestIndex+1
    if (App.Flags and (aFlagsTestit or aFlagsDoitLoopit))=0
        Test endevents Test
    else
        iTestIndex=0
    endif
else
    iTestIndex=0
endif
}

Define a test that you want to run.  Perform the test as normal(e.g setting frequency, test limits, etc.) Then Call RepeatTest(200) at the very end.

You will need to define a program variable, iTestIndex to track how many times you test has run.
