Hi Priyanshu,
The function setDatabankValue will not write to the .csv file, but it will override the current databank. This would be useful if you had a function in VBA that you would like to use to replace a Databanked parameter. In order to output to the csv you will need to use file i/o functions.
From online help the code below is the basic syntax where "newline" is what is going to be placed in test.txt
newline would be replaced by the new variable that you want to output. Also, be sure that you reference EmpirixUtilities in your VBA. Hope this helps.

Private Sub RSWVBAPage_beforePlay()
Dim m_util As EmpirixUtilities.FileIO
Set m_util = New EmpirixUtilities.FileIO
Dim resultb As Boolean
Dim mstatus As String
'write a line
resultb = m_util.WriteToFile("c:\Test.txt", "newlineText", Append, mstatus)
Call RSWApp.WriteToLog(CStr(resultb), "", mstatus)
Set m_util = Nothing
End Sub
