you call the function and pass arguments to it by
Code:
function get_param ()
{
arg1="$1"
arg2="$2"
test="`date`"
test2="someother string"
#export test test2
}

echo "before function get_param test=$test"
echo "before function get_param test2=$test2"
echo "before function get_param arg1=$arg1"
echo "before function get_param arg2=$arg2"
get_param arg1 arg2
echo "after function get_param test=$test"
echo "after function get_param test2=$test2"
echo "after function get_param arg1=$arg1"
echo "after function get_param arg2=$arg2"

output

before function get_param test=
before function get_param test2=
before function get_param arg1=
before function get_param arg2=
after function get_param test=Sat Mar 27 15:23:00 EDT 2010
after function get_param test2=someother string
after function get_param arg1=arg1
after function get_param arg2=arg2
