♦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'm a beginner in QTP. So far I'm ok with Descriptive but stuck while implementing Hybrid Frame work. 1. I have created a Keyword file with .vbs ext set home=description.create home("title").value="Welcome to feests" set reglink=description.create reglink("name").value="register yourrestaurant / take away" set fbusname=description.create fbusname("name").value="business_name" set dispname=description.create dispname("name").value="display_name" set restchkbox=description.create restchkbox("name").value="restaurant" set cuiscate=description.create cuiscate("name").value="cuisine_categery1" set addline1=description.create addline1("name").value="address_line1" set pstcode=description.create pstcode("name").value="address_postcode" set cntry=description.create cntry("name").value="address_country" set mlandno=description.create mlandno("name").value="landline_no" set emailadd=description.create emailadd("name").value="email" 2. I have created an Function Library file as follows Function launch() bro="C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" url="http://www.feests.com/" invokeapplication bro&" "&url Browser(home).page(home).Link(reglink).click End Function Function restregistration(karthik, teja, Ameerpet, UK) Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(fbusname).set "karthik" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(dispname).set "teja" Browser(home).page(home).WebCheckBox(restchkbox).set "ON" Browser(home).page(home).WebList(cuiscate).Select "Indian" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(addline1).set "Ameerpet" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(pstcode).set "UK" Browser(home).page(home).WebList(cntry).select "United Kingdom" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(mlandno).set "023775347" Browser(home).page(home).WebEdit(emailadd).set "email@gmail.com" End Function 3. This is how I have called the keywords and Functions in QTP executefile"C:\Documents and Settings\karthik\Desktop\keywords.vbs" executefile"C:\Documents and Settings\karthik\Desktop\functions.vbs" launch restregistration karthik, teja, Ameerpet, UK, "email@gmail.com" Now the issue is, I'm trying to enter the email ID in WebEdit field. But I dont know what is the mistake I did, if I run the script in QTP it is showing following error Error: Expected identifier Line (2): "executefile"C:\Documents and Settings\karthik\Desktop\functions.vbs"". Can someone help me fix this, please!!?
