New UFT DataTable is messing up our tests

We’ve been using the UFT data for a long time with no problems. Now, with UFT 15.x, the new DataTable format is messing up our existing tests.

For example,

Entering a large number the DataTable converts it to scientific notation vs treating it as a string:

123456789101234 becomes 1.234E+14

Dates are reformatted:
01/01/21 becomes 1/1/2021

We need our data to stay the way we enter them instead of being reformatted. We also do not want to put a ‘ in the field, as that would require extensive rework of our scripts. Is there any other way to accomplish this?

It is currently possible to revert to the old data table format. To do so, you need to update the registry.

Under
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMercury InteractiveQuickTest ProfessionalMicTestDataTable
in the registry, set
Type = 0
then restart UFT.

This really helps. Our scripts are now working properly again.
