Thanks,

Hi Nirmal,

You can pass parameters between actions using Action Parameters. Based on the view you are working on - keyword / Expert, the pattern will differ.

[U]Keyword View[/U]
1) for the specified action, Right click and Open Action Properties
2) In Parameters Tab, Click on + sign and enter Paramter name as well as Type
3) Convert the action to a reusable one incase it is already not
4) navigate to the action where you want to specify these parameter values. Just include the following code in that action -

RunAction <ActionName>, Iterations, parameter values.

[U]Expert View[/U]
Navigate to Step - Action Properties. Specify the parameters there. Ensure the action is reusable. Remaining procedure of coding remains the same.

Cheers...
