I cannot give parameter as $1 $2 $3 $4 on the wrapper script because it may vary. wrapper script is a individual script can be run from anywhere if copied along with 4 other scripts. So user can give different arguments to it depending on the requirement for example.
one user may give dest_dir, source_dir and user_id different than other user and thts the case most of the time.

It cannot be interactive also so we cannot prompt its supposed to be automated. I believe there is some way to do that by wrapper script

About that get opt example I dint get much of it. Would you mind telling me how it works.

thanks alot
