As things currently stand, your script is in fact doing precisely what it should. To recap, at the moment your script contains one line of code, namely:
cat myTextFile.txt
So all this script will ever do is display the contents of a file in the current directroy called myTextFile.txt. It does not take any input, accept any parameters, or do anything else. In short, running this script is 100% equivalent to just directly typing cat myTextFile.txt at the shell prompt yourself.
If instead you want a script to return as output whatever single input parameter is passed to it, then you don't need to use a file for this. To get both the requirements you list, something like this would suffice:
I have a piece of code that I do not want to continuously repeat. I want to call script2 from script1 and pass a parameter. Here is an example:
Script1:
.......
nohup ./Script2 PARAMETER
.......
Script2:
if
# Checks if any params.
then
echo "No parameters passed to function."

shcomp
SHCOMP(1) User Environment Utilities SHCOMP(1)NAME
shcomp - compile a ksh93 shell script
SYNOPSIS
shcomp [ options ] [infile] [outfile]]
ORIGIN OF THIS MAN PAGE
This man page was written by Christophe Martin <Schplurtz@free.fr> for the Debian GNU/Linux system. It is based on "shcomp --man" output.
DESCRIPTION
Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh93 can read and execute
with the same effect as the original script.
Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are the messages that need to be translated to
locale specific versions for internationalization.
If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is also omitted, the shell script will be read from
standard input.
OPTIONS -D, --dictionary
Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization.
-n, --noexec
Displays warning messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs.
-v, --verbose
Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.
--man Displays this man page on standard error and exits.
--help Shows a short help message and exits.
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
DEBIAN WARNING
On a Debian GNU/Linux system, more than one package may provide ksh. the output of shcomp can only be used by ksh93. Any other ksh will be
unable to run the compiled script.
EXAMPLE
( echo '#! /bin/ksh93' ; shcomp myscript ) > myscript.bin &&
chmod 755 myscript.bin
./myscript.bin
