# lr.set_transaction

Creates a completed transaction.

## JavaScript

    function lr.set_transaction(  name, duration, status  )

## VBScript

    Function lr.set_transaction(  name, duration, status  )

Example: Transaction Duration, set_transaction, and waste time | Transaction Functions

## Arguments

Name | Comments
--- | ---
Name | A name for the transaction.
duration | Transaction duration in seconds.
status | The transaction completion status. One of the Transaction Status constants for pass, fail, or stop. The auto status is not applicable.

The lr.set_transaction function creates a transaction, its duration, and status in a single call. Use it where the business process you want to capture in a transaction does not consist of sequential steps, or where you may or may not want to create a transaction, depending on conditions that are known only during the test.

To create a transaction for non-sequential steps, capture the duration of each series of steps that participate in the business process. Sum the durations and create the transaction with lr.set_transaction.

lr.set_transaction can also be used to report the duration of a failed transaction by saving the duration before the transaction fails with lr.get_transaction_duration then using lr.set_transaction to create a new transaction for reporting that time.

lr.set_transaction creates and closes the transaction. Therefore, no functions that work only on open transactions are applicable.

Note: For information on allowed characters and maximum length for transaction names, see Transaction guidelines in the Virtual User Generator Help Center.

## Return Values

This function returns LR_PASS (0) on success, and LR_FAIL (1) on failure.

## Parameterization

All string input arguments can be passed using standard parameterization.
