+Alternatively, you can define your script as a variable, e.g. on the Test Plan:
+<pre>SCRIPT vars.put("name","value")</pre>
+The script can then be referenced as follows:
+<pre>${__BeanShell(${SCRIPT})}</pre>
+There is no need to escape commas in the SCRIPT variable because the function
call is parsed before the variable is replaced with its value.
+This works well in conjunction with the BSF or BeanShell Samplers, as these
can be used to test Javascript, Jexl and BeanShell scripts.

Functions can reference variables and other functions, for example
<code>${__XPath(${__P(xpath.file),${XPATH})}</code>
will use the property "xpath.file" as the file name
