Roku SceneGraph question

I have created a channel with many rows and many videos using Roku SceneGraph I have many functions that are the same except maybe one link is the a way to change the code to pull the rest of the function up from another file.
example
Every row needed will be using this and on the next row the only thing that is going to change is the function name and the url.SetUrl

 Function GetApiArray29()
    url = CreateObject("roUrlTransfer")
    url.SetUrl("http://myserver.com/test.rss")
    rsp = url.GetToString()

    responseXML = ParseXML(rsp)
    responseXML = responseXML.GetChildElements()
    responseArray = responseXML.GetChildElements()

    result = []

    for each xmlItem in responseArray
        if xmlItem.getName() = "item"
            itemAA = xmlItem.GetChildElements()
            if itemAA <> invalid
                item = {}
                for each xmlItem in itemAA
                    item[xmlItem.getName()] = xmlItem.getText()
                    if xmlItem.getName() = "media:content"
                        item.stream = {url : xmlItem.url}
                        item.url = xmlItem.getAttributes().url
                      
                        
                        mediaContent = xmlItem.GetChildElements()
                        for each mediaContentItem in mediaContent
                            if mediaContentItem.getName() = "media:thumbnail"
                                item.HDPosterUrl = mediaContentItem.getattributes().url
                                item.hdBackgroundImageUrl = mediaContentItem.getattributes().url
                            end if
                        end for
                    end if
                end for
                result.push(item)
            end if
        end if
    end for

    return result
End Function

So I am trying to do something like
function it will have the two lines of code than go to another function to get the rest of the code. This way I can shorten the code. I hope i made sense of this. I just dont want to repeat the code over and over if i dont have to.
Thank you for you help

It will help to put your code within

Can you not pass the unique values to your function?

Something like:


 Function GetApiArray(urlPath)
    url = CreateObject("roUrlTransfer")
    url.SetUrl(urlpath)
    rsp = url.GetToString()

etc etc
