I believe you can do this with a "Properties" step.

Set one up called "Properties"

At the start of your script:

def properties = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Properties");
long startTime = properties .getPropertyValue( "startTime" );

.... code


properties.setPropertyValue("startTime", starTime.toString());

If you leave the actual property blank, it will come up as null the first time around.

Hope that helps!
