Case Statement for Crystal / Shared Variables/batch

[sxmnl]

This is a tough one for me being I've only worked with crystal for 5 weeks.
I have 18 reactor's and I'm trying to show a profile of each reactor with a line chart that would consist of 4 tags. I have the chart working with four tags.
Example I want to share Tag1, Tag2, Tag3 & tag4 each tag let say is PIC532_01 = REACTORE ONE. _02 would be REACTOR TWO and so on for 18 reactor's.
So i'm guessing that I would share numbervar tag1,tag2,tag3 & tag4.

Know It even gets more complicated I need to use the Start time of the batch + 6 hours, and grab the reactor number from the batch report to draw the trends from.

I'm just a little confused in what the appopriate steps would be to try and get this to work..

Any suggestions would be great....Thanks In Advance

First off thanks for the response.
I decided to break this down to individual tasks. so right know I'm trying to see if I can pass variables to a chart fist.

if {?Reactor Number}=1 then {@II524}= 'Control Modules/II524_01:Linl.PV,IM02_1m_3yrs'
else if {?Reactor Number}=2 then {@II524}= 'Control Modules/II524_02:Linl.PV,IM02_1m_3yrs'

What i did was creat a parameter to prompt for the Reactor Number,If it equals 1 then I created a formula for each tag @II524 .

I get a error that say I need a string after =1
once I get this then I'll move on to the next phase

Thanks

Are you writing this in Basic Syntax or the default Crystal Syntax? Also, variables are only needed in limited instances. Are you sure you need variables, or by variable do you really mean a formula? Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting
