lr.get_attrib_double

Returns a double type value of a parameter passed to the script run.

JavaScript

function lr.get_attrib_double(  parameter  )

VBScript

Function lr.get_attrib_double(  parameter  )

Arguments

The lr.get_attrib_double function returns the value of an argument of type double precision floating point that was passed to the run of the script. You place the command line parameter's name in the function's argument field and lr.get_attrib_double returns the value of that parameter.

Return Values

On success, returns the value of the parameter. If the parameter does not exist or if its value is not consistent with the type (for example a flag parameter), returns -1.

Parameterization

Standard parameterization is not available for this function.

VBScript Example

In the following example, lr.get_attrib_double, lr.get_attrib_long, and lr.get_attrib_string retrieve the values of the command line arguments from this command:

Public Function Init() As Long
Dim wait_time as Double 
Dim secInYear as Long
Dim mrsCollins as String 
Dim i, loops as Integer 
loops = 3      
wait_time = lr.get_attrib_double("time") 
secInYear = lr.get_attrib_long("secondsInYear") 
mrsCollins = lr.get_attrib_string("MrsCollins") 
' If the commands succeeded, output the values 
if (wait_time <= 0 )then 
	lr.message "Illegal time value = " + Cstr(wait_time) 
	Init = lr.PASS 
	Exit Function 
else 
	lr.message "Wait time value =" + Cstr(wait_time) 
	lr.message "The number of seconds in a year is" + Cstr(secInYear) 
	lr.message "Mr.Collins' wife is named" + mrsCollins + "Lucas" 
end if 

' Use the time from the command line 

for i = 0 To(loops - 1) 

' Your business process or test goes here 
	lr.message "Time and date:" + Cstr(Time) 
	lr.think_time(wait_time) 
	next i 

lr.message "Time and date:" + Cstr(Time) ' FormatDateTime(Time) 
Init = lr.PASS

End Function
