  No way to parametrize suites?
  Only by means of _callServer?

  Currently, you cannot parametrize suites. If you could tell your requirements, I will add the needed features.

  Something like
  
  httx://sahi.example.com/_s_/dyn/Player_auto2?file=" + file + "&startUrl=" + startUrl + "&p:paramName=03.04.2005"
  
  with the value "03.04.2005" accessible from scripts by means of
  
  date = _ARGS["paramName"]
  
  could be just fine.
  
  Suites could look in similar way:
  
  test1.sah /startPageForTest1.jsp p:paramName=03.04.2005
  
  Thank you,
  Alexander

  Hi Narayan,
  
  Just a quick one to ask if you had a chance to implement this? It would be ideal for the current set of tests I have
  
  Cheers,

  There is another way to pass in a parameter which may not be the most elegant, but should work.
  
  Set a system property just before you invoke your suite, and then read the variable in your script like this:
  
  In your runsuite.bat

  SET MY_VAR=abcd
  

  
  In your script

  var $x = "" + java.lang.System.getenv("MY_VAR");
  _alert($x);
  

  
  Would that work for you?
  
  Or you can pass the param to Java using -D
  java -DMY_VAR=abcd net.sf...
  
  and access it using
  

  var $x = "" + java.lang.System.getProperty("MY_VAR");
  _alert($x);

  Hi Narayan,
  
  Thanks for the response. Using environment variables or the Java -D flag would certainly work (thanks) and do make things easier. It would be ideal to be able to pass a parameter into each script in a suite, but what you suggested gets me a step closer to what I want and does help a lot
  
  Cheers,
  Les.
