Import an External File into a Data Table
Source code
'************************************************************************************************************************
'Description:
'
'This example imports data from external files into the Data Table and sets parameters
'for the test through the Data Table. It shows how you can send parameters to a test by
'setting the Data Table values before running the test.
'
'Assumptions:
'There is no unsaved test currently open in UFT One.
'For more information, see the example for the Test.SaveAs method.
'UFT opens with the add-ins required for the test.
'For more information, see the example for the Test.GetAssociatedAddins method.
