Parameters define the test case import and export interfaces. Local variables can also be used to buffer values in a test case. Parameters have length 132 internally.

• Import parameters

Import parameter values are passed when a test case is called, and are available locally in the test case. They can have default values which are used if no other value is passed in the call.

• Export parameters

You can assign the test case result to an export parameter, which can be passed to a variable in the calling test procedure when you return from a test module.

• Local variables are used in test cases for calculations or to receive export parameters from referred test cases or called function modules.

You can use any twelve-character names, preceeded with an &.
