  Please look at http://sahi.co.in/w/sahi-scripting-basics and _include .

  Thank You very much Narayan for your kind help.
  
  From the link you gave i am clear that we can pass a Sahi script in another Sahi script.
  
  Now can you please tell me that, Is it possible that we can pass arguments or variables along with the Sahi script in _include()?
  
  For Ex:-
  Suppose in a Sahi script for login we need 2 variables UserName and Password.
  
  This login script can be called in any other scripts with any combination of UserName and Password.
  
  So is it Possible as follows:-
  _include("includesdir/login.sah","tester1","user1");
  
  
  
  Thanks in Advance.

  No bosshr1043, you cannot pass parameters via _include. You will have to create a function inside the included file and then call that function with your parameters from the other file.
  

  // in includesdir/login.sah
  function login($user, $password){
    // your steps ...
  }
  

  // in your other scripts
  _include("includesdir/login.sah");
  login("tester1","user1");

  Hi,
  
  There is one other way though it is not recommended.

  // in includesdir/login.sah
  _setValue(_textbox("username'), $user);
  _setValue(_password("password'), $pwd);
  

  // In your other script
  // Define the variables before you include the other script
  var $user = "myuser";
  var $pwd = "mypwd";
  _include("includesdir/login.sah");
  

  
  Not sure if this is applicable to you, but if you are trying to avoid writing functions, I would suggest that spending an hour learning functions and organizing code into functions will save you a lot of maintenance problems later.
  
  Regards,
  Narayan

  Hi Narayan,
  
  Thanks very much for the help and support.
  
  I will also prefer the 1st example for using function() as suggested by you.
  
  Thanks.
