Hi,
Is there any way that i can call one test case in another test cases rather that putting it in a keyword.

No there isn't. This has been discussed before few times, but the
decision has been that the benefits are too small (creating a new user
keyword is so easy) compared to potential confusion this functionality
would cause. There would also be not-easy-to-answer questions like
where to find the named test case, how to handle setup/teardown, what
about tags, etc.

@Peke

Thanks for the info.I was just curious because there are couple of test cases we have which can be used in anoter testcases.
Currently we have wrapped those as keywords and using them when ever needed.

@Markus: Yups thats the same we are doing currently.

Hi Sandeep,

I asked for this back in May-09 and it was rejected. Please add your comments to Issue 319: http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=319

Thanks,

Martin
