Reading Test Results

Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments only.

The Results tab shows you the following information:

Type or RS Name	Shows whether this is a parameter or a result set. Result set names correspond to the cursor name defined in the DECLARE CURSOR statement.
Data Name	The parameter name or the column name of the data in the result set.
Row Number	Parameters display a row number of 0; result sets display the row number fetched from the result set that corresponds to the cursor name defined in the DECLARE CURSOR statement.
Value	Input - the value of the input parameter Output - the value of the output parameter Input only side file - the value that was found in the side file Input/Output or Output side file - the side file name Special register - the name of the special register (not the value of the special register) Note: Reporting the name of the special register rather than its value makes it somewhat easier to do regression testing in that you get consistent results when using special registers such as CURRENT DATE.
