Passing variables 1

[spiego]

Is it possible to pass a variable within the main report? If so, how? I have a formula in the report header to calculate the current month. I would like to capture the number of the month and use it in another formula within a group.

I am using CR 9.0.

Try:

whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar MyMonth := month(currentdate)

To use it later, use:

whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar MyMonth;
"This is month "+totext(MyMonth,0,"")

There's no reason to use a variable to calculate the current month though, unless your report runs so long that the month changes

Just use month(currentdate) to get the current month whenever you need it, it's less code.

I provided the above example so that you can see how to use variables within the main report.
