Printing and Exporting a Suite

Implementing Tests as Suites

You declare a shared variable within a test script or resource file with a "shared"
routine. For more information about this routine, see the
VU Language Reference
or the
Rational Test Script Services manual for your language.
You initialize a shared variable within a suite. This is optional--the default value is 0.
You manipulate the value of a shared variable through the logic in a test script or when
you monitor the suite.
