Specify the operation group to which the PAscript program belongs.

You can configure operation group tables to run all PAscripts associated with a specific operation group. Refer to Integrating a PAscript Program in the Test for more information.

Use PAscript Editor to set the operation group for a PAscript program.

  1. Select PAscript » Properties to open the Properties dialog in the PAscript group.
  2. In the Processing Frequency field, specify the operation group to which the PAscript belongs.
  3. In the Order field, enter a number that determines the order in which the programs execute.

    The following rules apply when determining the execution order of the program:

    • The number must be greater than or equal to 1.
    • The smaller this number is, the earlier the program is executed.
    • Only one counting sequence exists for all operation tables, PAgraph, PAgraph++ , PAbasic, and PAscript programs. Therefore, any number you enter for the order should be unique within a test.
    • If the numbers are the same, the execution of the same-numbered programs is random.
    • If the Order field is empty, all other programs for which a sequence is defined are executed first.

    Alternatively, you can select an integer type variable from the selection list. If you select an integer type variable, the initial value of the variable is used as the order value.
