How do you set the Step.Result.Numeric for a Sequence Call (Numeric Limit Test) from within the called Sequence?

It sounds like you have inserted a Numeric Limit Test step that uses the sequence call adapter. This implies that you would like a single numeric value returned by your sequence call that is then evaluated by comparison to the limits of the sequence call step. Let me know if I have made any incorrect assumptions.

The solution is to add a Statement step within your called sequence that uses the expression

RunState.Caller.Step.Result.Numeric = 10

where you would substitute 10 with your measurement (e.g. Locals.MyMeasurment or RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Numeric).

Let me know if this does not make sense or does not suit you needs.

Thanks very much!
You were right on target.

I combined your solution with my own:

Passed the Caller's Step.Result.Numeric (by-ref) to the "Measurement" parameter of the target-sequence.
Then returned the measurement via
Parameters.Measurement = RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Numeric

Any performance or other issues with doing it this way?

No. That is a good solution. The advantage is that some day you could move your sequence to be a deeper subsequence and as long as you passed the parameter deeper then your sequence will still work. In contrast if you use the method I mentioned then you could end up with a property path like

runstate.caller.runstate.caller.runstate.caller.runstate.caller.runstate.caller.step.result.numeric = 10

Yuck!
