David, Thanks for your suggestion. Earlier, I had a different level of 
abstraction where I create all the test scenarios .t files during runtime with 
the two lines and executed them using runtests. After that I deleted the 
individual .t files. Its just for the breakdown of the test names with number 
of passed/failed results.

Regards,
Murugesan

Maybe you need another level of abstraction.

Create a file that contains all your cases (what you would put in the two-line 
.t file) and then have one .t file iterate through that file, calling each case.
