Hi Sree,
If i understood ur requirement right,
You want to create a parent package which consist of 3 variables refreshed/declared followed by calling of 4 scenarios which in turn call store procedures passing the variable values from parent package?
If so yes its possible by using ADDITIONAL VARIABLES option in ODI, you need to drag and drop the scenario inside parent package and in the properties of that u can see Additional Variables tab, in that u need to create 3 new variable list which u want to pass to that scenario.
P.S: In the value box u need to mention as #VAR_NAME if u dont want to explicitly specify the variable value while passing.
