A Compiled Module is a script containing a library of user-defined funtions that yuo want to call from other scripts or test runs. 
 
When you load a compiled module , its functionas are automatically compiled and remain in memory. 
test run can call those functions directly from with in test. 
 
Important note is that this script should be saved as compiled module. 
 
Other benefits by using Compiled module. 
 
1)You can declare public variables and these variables can be used any where in test where this compiled module 
has been called. 
 
2)Create variables which has values of  
A)lengthy file name paths (network drive file path or local drive file path) 
B)Database connection strings 
C)Browser URLs 
 
use these variables in test scripts where ever you want. 
the main advantage using this method is when file somehow replaced different location in system , you donot need to 
change the file path in each script.  
 
3)you can declare winrunner default message or custom error messages. 
example 
public const E_NOT_OPEN = -20011;  
public const E_INVALID_INPUT = -20005; 
 
4)Create public Arrays so that these arrays can be called any script.

A Compiled module is a library of user defined functions that we call frequently from within other tests. These functions are pre compiled and remains in memory.
