How do I determine the execution entry point used programatically in a sequence?

[Sean.C]

I need to vary the behaviour (slightly) of a sequence depending on whether the user runs the sequence with the "Test UUTs" execution entry point or with "Single Pass".  I was hoping that I could find a variable to use in my sequence which specifies which entry point was used.  Is there a variable that shows this information?  If so, what is it?  If not, what other methods might work to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi,

In your MainSequence use the expression Locals.Caller = NameOf(RunState.Caller.RunState.Sequence).

(Locals.Caller declared as a string in the sequence.)

This will return a string to your variable as "Single Pass" or "Test UUTs".

Hope this helps

Regards

Ray,

Thanks.  The string works just as you said, but I have two questions.

1) This string generates an error when the user runs selected steps (such as might occur when debugging a UUT).  Is there a way around that?

2) Is there a published list of "hidden variables" somewhere?  How did you find out about the "Runstate.Caller.Runstate.Sequence" variable? 

Thanks again,

Sean
