If you set a variable it is available outside . use a debug sampler with a view results tree listener to see what values get set and check you are using the variable in the HTTP request . If you still cant figure it out , please provide the structure of your test (for e.g. you might have attached the pre processor to an incorrect location , e.g. if it is under a controller then it applies to all elements in the controller) and finally check jmeter.log to verify that your beanshell is actually executing without errors.
