For information about defining datapool columns, see Step 2. Defining
Datapool Columns and Generating the Data

Generating the data. Once you configure the datapool and define its
columns, populate the datapool simply by clicking Generate Data.
With Robot, you can create and populate a datapool immediately after recording
or at any other time, as long as the datapool commands are in the script.
NOTE: You can also create and populate a datapool file manually and import
it into the project. For more information, see Rational TestManager User's
