Function can return a single value wheras actio can create
multiple values at a same time

Answer / murali

When ever u call the (external) Actions, respective OR,
Datatable, Active screen, check pts if any, will come to
your current test, but if u call a function only a peice of
code will come.
Actions are (most) useful when u r using per action repo.
functions are (most) useful when ur using global repo.

Answer / deven

♦It returns single value.
♦ we can call functions within actions but we can't call
actions within functions

♦ Generally functions are saved with ".vbs" extension
whereas actions will save with ".mts".

♦ Every Action will have its own Datatable whereas function
does not.

♦ Action can have a object repository associated with it
while a function can't. A function is just lines of code
with
some/none parameters and a single return value while an
action can have more than one output parameters.

♦ Action can contain Object Repository, Data table, Active
screen etc. whereas function do not have these features.

♦ Action is internal to QTP whereas Function is just lines
of code with some/none parameters and a single return value.

♦ Action can/cannot be resuable whereas functions are
always reusable.

♦ Action Parameter have default values whereas VB script
functions do not have any default values.

♦ Action parameter type are byvalue only where vbscript
functions can be passed byref.

♦ Action can have multiple output(returning) values whereas
function can return only single value.

Hi, I want to retrieve the cell data in the WebTable. For that I have defined a new test object under the browser and have given html tag and text as the test object properties. But while I try to identify it it says 'Object description is not unique'. I tried adding innerhtml, outerhtml, innertext and outertext along with the ordinal identifiers; but no use. What more properties need to be added to identify it? Also I want to enable smart identification for this object but the field is disabled in the object repository for this object alone(In QTP tools->object identification the enable smart identification checkbox is enabled). How do I enable it?
