Error description
Simplified Script - Skip and Continue does not work for the Object Not Found handler When you playback an IBM Rational Functional Tester (RFT) script with a failed verification point (VP), the playback halts even if you set Skip and Continue. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable Simplified Scripting. 2. Record a script with a VP and actions after that VP. 3. Playback the script and observe that the result is Pass. 4. Do the necessary things to have the VP fail. 5. Click Properties > Playback. 6. Select Skip and Continue in Exception Handlers > Object not Found. 7. Playback the script again. 8. Observe that the playback stops directly when the VP fails.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When the user selects "Skip and Continue" as the action for the ObjectNotFoundException for a specific step in the simplified script, the script execution stops instead of skipping and continuing with the next step in the script.
Problem conclusion
When the user selects "Skip and Continue" as the action for the ObjectNotFoundException for a specific step in the simplified script, the script execution stops instead of skipping and continuing with the next step in the script. This is because the skip and continue method was returning without any action, causing the playback loop to exit.
