    Your code is correct, however your should check where you have call your variable, because KeywordTest variables are not accessible from other keyword tests. If so, you should use Project or ProjectSuite variables.

    Hey. Thanks for the reply.
    So I declared a variable at the project suite level and tried accessing it in my script using 

    newva = ProjectSuite.Variables.VariablebyName("Varname")

     where Varname is my suite level variable. It returns null when i try to print it. Is there another way through which I can access the suite level variable?

      Check carefully your assignment for this variable. If it returns null, it was not assigned by another value.
