How do I Insert a Fileglobals Variable into a Step Name

[Scott754]

Greetings Everyone,

     I'm curious, whether or not it's possible to insert a FileGlobals variable into a Step Name, whether it be an Action, Pass/Fail, Numeric Limit Test, or what have you.  An example would be "Paragraph 1.0 execution # {variable} running" were variable would be an incremental count, whether it be a for loop or any other type of senario.  Thank you in advance for any information that you may offer.

Regards,

Scott

You can do this dynamically in the Pre-Expression of the Step by using the TestStand API.

Step.Name = "Paragraph 1.0 Execution #" + FileGlobals.VariableName + " Running"

Something like that.  During run time your step name will change to that.

Hope this helps,
