You need to add one more command:

storeEval | sch | sch

to read variable from you js-file.

Please note, that you need to save your test, restart Selenium IDE and open test again for correct saving of your selenium ide extensions.

This code works:

<tr>
    <td>open</td>
    <td>/</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>storeEval</td>
    <td>sch</td>
    <td>sch</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>id=gbqfq</td>
    <td>${sch}</td>
</tr>

The Selenium IDE is not really a tool designed to run your testcases. It helps to generate code that you can use to write your testcases, e.g., in a programming language like Java. Of course you can then read parameters from a file using Java.
