While loop in QTP

Question

I'm trying to execute the while loop in QTP below

x = true
y = 2 
Do While x = True
Msgbox y
thing = RunAction "Action1",oneIteration, y
x = thing
y = y + 1
Loop

When I don't call the RunAction it will call "msgbox y" as it should, but when I include it the first Msgbox just does does not get called at all. It doesn't even display an empty msgbox. Action 1 ends up being called with its default number instead of y. Help!

Also, have you used error handling? If you have used statements like 'On Error Resume Next' or 'Proceed to Next Step' in QTP settings, please disable them to show any error. — Mithilesh Indurkar

Do you intend to store the output of Action1 in the variable "thing"? — Gurmanjot Singh

Press ctrl + F7 to see any syntax error in QTP. If you return a value, you should use () for the functions.

Retry as shown here and share what you find.

Do While x = True
  Msgbox y
  x= RunAction("Action1",oneIteration, y)
  y = y + 1
Loop
