Usage:
$active=ACTIVESERVICE("WINS")

code:
function activeservice($servicename)
  Dim $shellcommand, $xnetexe

  $activeservice=0
  $servicename=trim($servicename)
  if $servicename=''
    exit 87
  endif
  if not isdeclared($TOOLSDIR)
    global $TOOLSDIR
  endif
...
$servicename in the above example is "WINS" which was passed into the function when used in the script.

The function definition specified what parameters are to be accepted by a function. These parms can be mandatory or optional.

See the FUNCTION command in the docs.
