Topic: Scripting on Batch file using LoadRunner

Perhaps you could detail for the audience here how this would be quite contrary? As a fellow professional you owe it to the audience to clarify your statement.

It should be apparent from my previous answer that there is no protocol for batch files. LoadRunner cannot record interaction with a batch file on the same PC where the recording is taking place - unless using Citrix or equivalent.

The solution Siva arrived at is not unusual. Nothing in previous posts here ruled out a LoadRunner "system" call. The point you apparently missed is that one does not need LoadRunner to execute a batch file. Batch files existed long before LoadRunner. People executed batch files long before LoadRunner! People used batch files to time code components long before LoadRunner or any commercially equivalent tool was available!

This is intended to be a professional forum where misinformation is discouraged. It is trusted that you will support that concept.

Your statement "just any protocol is suitable for your task using the C system call for that purpose. " is flawed. There are many protocols available in LR that are not "C". Therefore "system" is not a valid "C system call" in VB or VBScript, etc. Also, "not just any protocol" is suitable for Siva's task.

The good thing is that Siva was resourceful, found a way, and then shared it. There are a couple ingredients in that statement we fully support here - "resourceful" and "shared".
