A datapool data type is a source of data for one datapool column.
For example, the Names - First data type (shipped with Rational Test as a standard
data type) contains a list of persons' first names.
Suppose you assign this data type to
the datapool column FNAME. When Robot automatically generates the datapool, it
populates the FNAME column with all of the values in the Names - First data type.
Here is the relationship between data types, datapool columns, and the values
assigned to script variables during playback:
