How to Generate a random value (string/date/number) in ATF?

E.g: I have set type of parameter as Script.

In the Script i have mentioned the below.

But not sure how to output this, so i can use it in the Test step.

Hi

You can try creating a parameter type of String and give the values as the below:

javascript:gs.nowDateTime()

Hello Ankush,

Thanks for the reply.

There is no value field on the parameter page. I tried passing this in test run data but this doesn't print's time, the same is copied as it is in results.

I am sorry for the typo, corrected the answer.

Thanks Ankush for a quick reply, unfortunately this is also not working.

Is there a way were we can pass a string value from step "run server side script" to another step? may be that will help.

Thanks & Regards,
